Board introduces Head Start emergency bus policy and 2023-24 calendar; facilities usage item pulled
Summary
At the Jan. 19 meeting the board introduced a Head Start Emergency Bus Procedures policy and a proposed 2023-2024 school calendar for review; a separate item on public use of school facilities was pulled from the agenda by Ms. Charo Holden.
The St. John the Baptist Parish School Board received several informational items at its Jan. 19 meeting.
Ms. Melissa Watson introduced a proposed 'Head Start Emergency Bus Procedures' policy for the board's consideration; the policy was presented for introduction and no final action was recorded at the meeting. Mrs. Rebecca Johnson introduced the proposed 2023-2024 school calendar for board review; that item was presented for consideration and not voted on at this meeting.
Separately, an agenda item regarding a partially suspended policy on public usage of St. John the Baptist Parish public school facilities (the L&F Committee recommended allowing nonprofit use at the Superintendent's discretion) was pulled from the agenda by Ms. Charo Holden and not discussed.
Why it matters: The introduced Head Start transportation policy addresses emergency procedures for early-childhood program buses; the calendar sets the academic schedule under which district schools will operate if adopted. Pulling the facilities usage item delays any immediate decision about community access to school facilities.
