Board approves 2027–28 calendar and updates student‑data and copyright policies
Summary
The board approved the proposed 2027–28 school calendar (selected by staff and teacher survey) and adopted policy updates on student data protection (GBL‑1) and copyright/compliance (ECAA) using state model templates; staff noted ongoing work on cybersecurity and compliance.
The board approved the district's proposed 2027–28 school calendar, which staff created in multiple options and presented after teacher and school input. Jake explained the selection process and constraints (start before Labor Day, 180 school days, desired days off) and the calendar chosen had the most staff support.
Ralph reviewed policy updates to GBL‑1 (governmental data/student-data protections) and ECAA (copyright/compliance for audiovisual and classroom materials). He said the district used the state board's model policies for smaller districts and stressed the importance of protecting student data amid frequent cyberattacks. The board approved both policy adjustments on voice vote.
The items closed with administrative actions and a plan to implement the new calendar and updated policies ahead of the 2027–28 year.
