Summary
Superintendent Dr. John Wyrick said monthly professional development segments will start in January with the Food Service Department presenting; after discussion the board left the district cell-phone policy unchanged, citing staff reports of no problems.
Superintendent Dr. John Wyrick announced that a rotating Professional Development segment will be added to each board meeting beginning in January, with the Food Service Department scheduled to present a 10–15 minute overview of its operations.
On the question of student cell-phone rules, Wyrick said districts will receive a 20-page cell-phone guidance report from the Kansas State Board of Education this week to help shape local policy. LCHS Principal Stacy Smith told the board that "the current cell phone policy is working well and have no issues," and after discussion the board decided to retain the existing policy with no changes recorded in the minutes.
The transcript does not include the full guidance report text nor any draft policy language; the board’s decision was to make no modification at this meeting.
