'Bell to Bell' and 'Walk out' policies tabled; board approves recycling, cheer uniforms and grant bonus
Summary
The board tabled two proposed student-related policies for further information, approved recycling of old computers, new cheerleading uniforms and a 10% grant-writing bonus for a teacher at the May 13 meeting.
At the May 13 meeting, the Stanton County USD 452 Board of Education tabled consideration of two proposed policies and approved a set of operational items.
The board voted unanimously to table the proposed 'Bell to Bell' cell phone policy and a proposed 'Walk out' policy, with motions by Bobbie Ehrlich and seconding by Paige German on each item. Both motions carried 7-0.
Operational items approved included allowing Donnie to recycle old computers and Chromebooks after salvaging usable parts (motion by Bobbie Ehrlich, second Chantry Scott; carried 7-0) and approval of high school cheerleading uniforms as presented (motion by Bret Kendrick; second by Val Zumudio; carried 7-0). The board also approved a 10% bonus for Olivia Seger for obtaining a classroom grant totaling $320 (Bret Kendrick moved; Bobbie Ehrlich seconded; carried 7-0). The superintendent noted the athletic banquet catering with Webb’s would be about $2,000 and raised a concern that Snyder Landscaping had not yet begun turf installation; the board said summer projects will start once school closes.
Why it matters: Tabling the two policies means no immediate change to district rules governing student devices or walkouts; community members and staff may see these policies on a future agenda after the board requests more information. Approved operational actions clear the way for summer work and equipment updates.
What’s next: The board expects additional information to be brought back before the policies are reconsidered and supplemental contracts to be prepared for the June meeting.
