Lee's Summit R-VII board agrees to reinstate 'each' in student-focused language, discusses library access changes

May 22, 2026

At a work session the Lee's Summit R-VII Board reviewed MSBA policy updates, agreed to restore the word "each" in instructional language and discussed new library language letting parents request that specific materials be restricted for their child rather than removed districtwide. Revised language will be sent to MSBA for review before first reading.

The full story

Dr. Carlson introduced two batches of policy updates from MSBA (identified in the packet as 25E and 26A) and noted the items and several district-initiated policies had been reviewed by district leadership and the board policy committee and were before the board for work-session consideration. "We've got actually two batches here from MSBA — 25E and 26A," he said, explaining that some items in 26A relate to board matters and will proceed to first and second readings after local review.
