Mapleton Local Board gives first reading to a package of policy updates including social media and student absences
Summary
The board approved a first reading of multiple policy updates on Oct. 14, including social media, criminal records check, student absences and religious expression days; the measures will return for future action.
The Mapleton Local School District Board of Education voted on Oct. 14 to approve the first reading of a set of proposed policy updates.
Board member Mindy Scurlock moved the first reading of policies that covered topics such as Compensation of Board Members (1.08), Incapacity of Treasurer (1.13), Committees (1.14), Social Media (1.20), Evaluation of Administrators (2.05), Criminal Records Check (3.02), Professional Staff Positions (4.00), Employment of Substitute Teaching Staff (4.01), Academic Acceleration and early entry/exit provisions (6.01), Student Absences and Excuses (6.08), Habitual Truancy Intervention Strategies (6.09), C.P.R. and A.E.D. Training (6.52), Children and Youth in Foster Care (6.58), Religious Expression Days (6.64), Promotion/Placement/Retention (7.04), Interscholastic Athletics (7.19), Purchases (8.07), School Calendar (9.40), and a policy on specific beliefs or political principles (9.44). The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
The first-reading status means the board has reviewed the proposed language and that final adoption will occur at a later meeting if the board votes to advance the policies. The minutes do not record detailed discussion of individual policy provisions or proposed amendments; the policies were advanced together as a package for subsequent consideration.
