Board approves 2026–27 student/parent handbook with formatting edits
Summary
After board review identified formatting errors, missing 2027 meeting dates, and a statutory naming correction, the governing board approved the 2026–27 student/parent handbook contingent on the noted formatting and content corrections; the vote was unanimous, 5–0.
Administration presented the 2026–27 student/parent handbook (clean and redline copies) and asked for board approval. Board members pointed out multiple formatting and pagination issues in the PDF version, missing 2027 meeting dates, inconsistent title language, and one statutory reference that needed correction; staff acknowledged the issues and agreed to make edits.
A board member suggested adding contact information and a public records request procedure to the handbook. Another member asked about fingerprinting and volunteer clearance distinctions; administration clarified that custodial parents on day field trips are not required to be fingerprint‑cleared, but noncustodial parents or overnight volunteers must be. A motion to approve the handbook with the formatting changes noted passed 5–0; administration will correct formatting, statutory naming, and return with the revised materials if necessary.
The board instructed staff to correct PDF formatting and to ensure the handbook titles and legal references match state statutory names. The approval allows the handbook to be published once those corrections are applied.
