Governance committee amends charter language, adds device policy and shortens enrollment window
Summary
Governance committee reported amendments to the school charter to add an exclusion option for discipline, created a student device policy in response to new state law, adjusted sections of the policy manual and shortened the enrollment window from three months to two.
The governance committee summarized changes it implemented during the year, including charter and policy updates.
Committee leaders reported that, working with the school's attorney, David Hostler, they amended the Piedmont Community Charter to include an exclusion option for disciplinary matters and updated the policy manual (300 series) with minor adjustments. The committee also said it developed a student device policy to align with a recently enacted state law.
Separately, the committee reported it shortened the school’s enrollment window from three months to two months as part of administrative updates. Committee members described these as procedural and compliance steps intended to align board policies with new legal requirements and operational needs.
No formal public controversy or litigation on these items was mentioned in the meeting; the governance report was presented as completed work for the year and the committee indicated it will continue policy work next year.
