Board adopts IEP/504 guidance for extracurriculars and approves Freshman Academy handbook
Summary
The board unanimously approved an addition clarifying supports for students with IEPs and Section 504 plans in fine arts and athletics, and also voted to adopt the Freshman Academy handbook after staff edits to align procedures and PBIS expectations.
The board approved two policy- and handbook-related items intended to clarify student supports and align procedures across grade levels.
