Board adopts new policy R3 on self-directed thinkers
Summary
The Nekoosa School District board unanimously adopted board policy R3, which sets four expectations for students (problem-solving, goal-setting, career preparation, resilience) after a brief presentation and a motion that passed without opposition.
The board voted to adopt policy R3, titled "self-directed thinkers," after a short presentation explaining its four parts: using information from diverse sources to solve problems, setting priorities and assessing progress, planning for careers based on interests and strengths, and demonstrating resilience and coping skills.
Nathan Black and other presenters described R3 as part of the district's portrait of a graduate and framed it as existing work that has expanded at the high school and middle school. A motion to adopt the policy was made, seconded and approved; the chair called for the ayes and recorded no opposition. The board chair stated, "Motion carried for R3."
Board members said the policy will guide work on career and community readiness and that it will continue to be a regular point of discussion as staff implement the policy in school programs.
