Summary
The board named the ACT as the district test for juniors in SY 25-26, and adopted the 2025-26 Student Handbook (Benham voted no), Virtual Handbook and Staff Handbook; all handbooks were presented by Mr. Scoggins.
During its Aug. 4 meeting the Paden Public School Board approved the ACT as the district test for juniors for the 2025-26 school year. The motion to select the ACT was recorded as approved; the motion was moved by Kelly Jo Seaton and seconded by Brandy Moore.
The board also approved the 2025-26 Student Handbook presented by 'Mr. Scoggins' (motion passed with Rebecca Benham voting no), the 2025-26 Virtual Handbook and the 2025-26 Staff Handbook. The minutes record that the handbooks were presented by Mr. Scoggins; the Student Handbook motion recorded one dissenting vote (Benham).
The minutes do not include the specific handbook revisions that prompted the single no vote or additional rationale; the district will maintain the approved handbooks as its official operational guidance for the school year.
