Board adopts model policies and approves handbooks on second and final reading
Summary
Trustees approved MTSDA model policies on final reading and approved updated faculty/staff and student handbooks, including a clarified ticket-taking/concessions policy requiring class advisers to cover two concession events and directing proceeds to student groups.
Chair (Speaker 2) presented a package of model policies (referred to in the transcript as MTSDA model policies) on second and final reading; trustees discussed the convenience of model policies for administrative efficiency and approved the package by voice vote.
Administrators then walked through handbook updates. Changes included clarification around discipline language (teacher sending students to the office for remainder of a period), driver's-education fee wording, and a new ticket-taking and concessions provision requiring all-class advisers (grades 7–12) to staff two concession events per year; when school-sponsored groups do not fill positions, community groups may be asked to help and funds earned should be routed to the student activity or specific student group rather than to an adult organization.
Trustees discussed how concession proceeds should be allocated, noting past practice where ticket-taking efforts supported specific activity funds. The board approved the handbooks on second and final reading and asked staff to post the final documents to the district website.
