Summary

Board members reviewed changes to activities and co‑curricular handbooks: stricter weekly eligibility rules for students with failing grades, tardy consequences for competitions, limits on one‑to‑one coach communication after 9 PM without approval, and a new administrative review process for suspected AI‑generated student photos.

Staff described several substantial updates to co‑curricular and activities handbooks that aim to prioritize students’ academic standing and clarify operational rules. Jason summarized eligibility changes: any failing grade will render a student ineligible for that week’s competitions, procedures to monitor eligibility will start the first day of the season, and a new rule allows only one sport per season. He also outlined attendance and tardy consequences for activities.

On technology and content, staff added an AI‑generated photo review process: "if an AI generated photo is deemed to be AI, at that point in time, it'll be turned over to the administration, through working through discussions, interviews, or whatnot to figure out, is this AI? Is this not?" Jason said the final decision rests with district administration. The board asked staff to ensure families and students are informed about these changes before the school year begins.
