Board approves 2025–26 handbook changes, reiterates eligibility and testing rules
Summary
Trustees approved revisions to the student handbook for 2025–26, confirming eligibility rules for participants, continued random drug testing and procedures for homeschooled students who wish to participate in activities.
The Scobey K-12 Schools board approved changes to the 2025–26 student handbook that clarify eligibility requirements for extracurricular participation and affirm continued random drug testing for participants.
Committee member (S3) moved to approve the handbook changes; the motion was seconded and carried with board affirmations. S3 asked how many students would be affected; Presenter (S4) said two, possibly three, and said those students had been notified of expectations and had acknowledged the requirements in writing.
Board members confirmed that students who participate in school activities remain subject to the district’s random drug-testing policy. S5 emphasized the importance of ensuring that any homeschool participants meet MHSA rules and that staff verify credits and reporting deadlines so eligibility questions do not arise midseason.
S3 and S4 described the administrative process: parents and students must sign an acknowledgement, submit grade reports by a specified date, and meet the same activity rules as enrolled students. The board said staff would monitor compliance and report back if there are disputes or exceptions.
The handbook change is effective for the 2025–26 school year; the board recorded the action and moved on to additional agenda items.
