The Winside Public Schools Board waived the first reading and approved the final student handbook for 2026–2027 with specified inclusions: the 24-hour rule, after-school program language and a new tardy policy, among other minor changes. The motion was made by Jon Jaeger and seconded by Zach Brokaw and recorded as approved unanimously.
