Board approves Infinite Campus inactive‑student drop list after trustees press for policy clarification
Summary
The board approved administration's Infinite Campus procedure to inactivate students after a 10‑day unexcused absence threshold used for enrollment counts, while trustees requested a formal policy clarifying authority and protections for students with IEPs or McKinney‑Vento status.
The Board of Trustees approved an Infinite Campus procedure that identifies students with prolonged unexplained absences and allows administrative inactivation from the active enrollment list used for state enrollment counts.
Administrators explained the initial threshold for identification is 10 days without contact because students not present for the October or February counts can affect average‑daily‑membership calculations. Superintendent Micah Hill said the district conducts outreach before inactivation—letters, phone calls and home visits—and confirmed that students with IEPs, 504 plans or McKinney‑Vento status can be verified and maintained in the system if staff have contact.
Trustees pressed for clarity on legal authority. Administration said removal authority derives from state law rather than an explicit board policy; one trustee recommended drafting board policy to make procedures transparent. A motion to approve the Infinite Campus drop list procedure (moved and seconded) passed unanimously among trustees present. Administration said removed students’ data are retained and that re‑enrollment is possible if families return.
Trustees asked for the policy committee to review and produce clearer written guidance on thresholds, verification steps and protections for vulnerable students.
