Board updates student handbook to add Saturday School for missed detentions and required gun-safety instruction
Summary
The board revised the student handbook to assign Saturday School when students skip assigned detention (with alternative school as a follow-up if needed) and added state-required gun-safety instruction to page 38 of the handbook.
The South Carroll Special School District board approved revisions to its student handbook and discipline policy March 19 that add Saturday School for students who skip assigned detention, with the option of alternative school for repeated offenses.
Board members also added statutorily required gun-safety instruction to the handbook; the agenda specifically references that "Gun safety must be taught by law now" and that the content appears on page 38 of the handbook.
The minutes record the policy change but do not list a detailed enforcement rubric or timeline; the board delegated ongoing implementation to district administration.
