Board approves code of student conduct revision after brief edits
Summary
The school board approved changes to policy 7-3.1 (Code of Student Conduct), including alternate language exempting school closings from suspension-day counts; the board adopted the revision after minor edits and a motion by Dr. Shroves.
The Hanover County School Board discussed and approved a revision to the Code of Student Conduct (policy 7-3.1) that clarifies how school closings count toward suspension days. Ms. Lynn read alternative language removing a sentence about counting closings; the board indicated it favored that edit. Dr. Shroves moved to approve the revised policy and the motion passed by voice vote after a second from Mr. Coleman.
Senior staff present said there were no additional changes from their office and that any agreed edits would be incorporated. The revised language specifically states that school closings due to inclement weather will not count as suspension days, and the superintendent has discretion in exceptional circumstances to allow credit for other closed days, language the board accepted as final for this action.
