Board reviews handbook changes including flat $5 replacement ID fee after first free card
Summary
Kyle Curtis presented parent-student handbook updates including a policy change that makes the first student ID free and subsequent replacements a flat $5 each; staff also expanded MTSS information and clarified immunization guidance.
Kyle Curtis presented proposed updates to the parent-student handbook for 2026–27, telling the board the document is a "fluid" resource that is updated annually and as laws change. On a high-profile point, Curtis said the recommendation is that the first replacement ID be free and all subsequent replacement IDs cost a flat $5 to avoid building significant replacement fees for families.
Curtis said the health and immunization section had no substantive legal changes (it’s governed by law) but staff reworked the layout to make requirements more accessible to families. He also said the district expanded the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) language to better explain academic, behavioral and social‑emotional supports. Board members asked for a clearer link to the code of conduct in the online handbook and requested an itemization of ID replacement costs (lanyards, supplies) for later clarification.
