Hanover board finalizes attendance, weapons and discipline policies in unanimous vote
Summary
The Hanover Public School District board on March 9 gave final approval to a package of policies including Attendance (204), Weapons (218.2) and Suspension and Expulsion (219.1) and related regulations; the motion passed 9-0.
The Hanover Public School District School Board on March 9 unanimously approved a package of district policies addressing attendance, weapons, student discipline and procurement.
The board voted 9-0 to adopt Policy 204 (Attendance); Policy 218.2 (Weapons); Policy 219.1 (Suspension and Expulsion) and its accompanying regulations (219.1-R1, 219.1-R2, 219.1-R3); the suite of regulations tied to discipline hearings (219.2 and 219.2-R1 through R5); procurement-related policies (610, 611, 626) and Safe2Say Procedures (805-R2). Mrs. Shea moved the measure and Mrs. Gulden seconded; the roll call vote recorded nine yes votes.
Why it matters: the package updates the district's approach to student attendance and campus safety, clarifies due-process procedures tied to suspensions and expulsions, and aligns procurement language for federal programs. Board members did not request further changes at the meeting and the vote closed the final-approval step for the policies listed on the agenda.
The action was taken as a single motion. No public comment or debate was recorded on the policy items during the meeting, and board members approved the motion without amendment.
The board's meeting minutes list the full set of policies adopted; the district will publish the new policy texts through its normal channels and post them on the district website.
The board adjourned at 6:10 PM; its next regular meeting is scheduled for March 23, 2026 at 6:00 PM.
