Board approves handbooks, updates technology acceptable‑use policy and adds band fee
Summary
The Santa Fe Trail board approved updated handbooks (covering attendance centers and a fees sheet) and adopted a consolidated acceptable‑use policy that references KASB IIBF/IIBG language; the board also agreed to add band fees to the district fee schedule.
The Santa Fe Trail Board of Education voted to approve revised student handbooks and a district acceptable‑use policy at its meeting. Chair (Speaker 2) called for the question after staff outlined changes that include a consolidated reference to KASB‑approved policy language and a fees sheet that will include band fees.
A staff member (Speaker 1) said the district returned to the original IIBF and IIBG legal language and embedded cross‑references in the district acceptable‑use document to reduce redundancy. "The acceptable use policy is heavy IIBG and IIBF, like, copy to paste it from it," a presenter (Speaker 7) summarized, and staff noted nine policies are referenced in the consolidated district policy. Board members said preserving the KASB legal language keeps attorney‑reviewed wording intact.
Board discussion also covered handbook headers and attendance‑center names; members favored adding "Santa Fe Trail" to front pages for consistent branding while deferring formal building renaming until reconfiguration decisions are finalized. The board also agreed to include a fees sheet in each handbook and to add the previously approved band fee to that list so schools can insert a single, standardized fee page rather than edit multiple handbook sections.
The motion to approve the handbooks as presented with the fees sheet addition passed by voice vote. The board directed staff to finalize minor name corrections and add the staff‑name updates that will appear on quick‑reference flip charts used in crisis response materials.
