Board hears curriculum testing update and discusses policy allowing online students to join co‑curricular activities
Summary
During the work session Mike reported on iLearn checkpoints and raised policy 9270 that could permit online‑school students to participate in co‑curricular activities (e.g., band) but not extracurricular athletics; transportation would be the parents' responsibility.
Mike (S5) told the board that schools finished iLearn checkpoint testing and that checkpoint 2 is planned for the end of December or January. He described three checkpoints followed by the annual summative assessment.
He raised policy 9270 as a possible accommodation for students enrolled in the district’s online program who want to participate in co‑curricular activities such as band. "We do have a policy, 9270, which kind of states that that could be a possibility that they might be able to come in, and take that," Mike said. He emphasized the policy would not allow online‑only students to participate in extracurricular athletics and that participation would be at the school's discretion; parents would need to provide transportation.
Mike presented the options for board consideration and asked members to think about whether to formalize procedures for co‑curricular participation by online students. The item was presented for discussion in the work session and no final policy action was taken at this meeting.
