Hope-Page SD 85 policy committee plans to recommend multiple policy updates and forward two policies to full board
Summary
At a Feb. 3, 2026 meeting, the Hope-Page Public School District 85 policy committee listed six existing policies for NDSBA-recommended updates and said it will forward two policies — tuition agreements and hazing — to the full board for consideration; the committee also ordered a Chromebook and a laptop to evaluate device options for potential 1:1 replacements.
The Hope-Page Public School District 85 policy committee met Feb. 3, 2026, at Hope-Page High School in Hope and placed several policy updates and two proposed policies on the agenda to be recommended to the full school board.
According to the meeting agenda, the committee intends to recommend North Dakota School Boards Association (NDSBA) updates to six existing district policies: ACCA (Sexual Offenders on School Property), BDAB (Savings Clause), HBAA (Federal Fiscal Compliance), HCAA (Purchasing), ICCB (Disposal of School Equipment) and FCC (Restraint or Seclusion Policy). The agenda lists those policy codes but does not include the text of the proposed changes; the committee’s role at this meeting was to recommend the NDSBA updates to the full board rather than adopt final policy language.
The committee also listed two policies to be forwarded to the full school board for consideration: FAAD (Tuition Agreements — Education of Non‑Resident Students) and ACEB (Hazing). The agenda states the committee will recommend both of those policies to the full board; no formal vote totals or motions are recorded in the transcript.
The agenda notes a technology evaluation step: the district has ordered one Chromebook and one laptop to compare capabilities as the committee examines options for staff and student 1:1 device replacements. The agenda frames this as a comparison order for evaluation; it does not record a decision to purchase devices districtwide.
Present at the policy committee meeting were Rita Kainz (policy committee member), Kyle Olstad (policy committee member), Alli Roller (policy committee member) and Heidi Kingston (policy committee member). The meeting was called to order at 7:30 AM and adjourned at 8:00 AM.
Next steps: the committee’s recommendations and the two policies listed for consideration are to be taken up by the full Hope-Page Public School District 85 school board; the transcript contains no record of a committee vote or of any final action taken at this meeting.
