Summary

The board approved a revision to the district code of conduct required by recent legislation (referred to in the meeting as HB7) to standardize responses to school threats; staff asked to waive the second reading so printed codes would immediately reflect the legal requirement.

Dr. Perri told the board the proposed code of conduct revision "reads exactly the way the recommendation is provided" and that the change is required by recent legislation concerning school threats (referred to in the transcript as HB7).

"This is a requirement, from recent legislation on specifics that's that we must follow on on the local on the, law," Dr. Perri said, adding that the language is already in the district's code and that approval and waiving the second reading would update the printed code to match the statutory requirement.

The board moved, waived the second reading, and approved the revision during the meeting. Dr. Perri characterized the vote as an administrative step to ensure the district's printed materials are current with state law. The transcript does not record a separate staff memo or ordinance citation for HB7 in the excerpt provided; staff indicated the change reflects recent statutory requirements.
