Board approves first reading of revised School Choice policy clarifying disciplinary criteria
Summary
The board approved the first reading of Policy 3141 to clarify evaluation criteria for nonresident and home-based instruction applications, including consideration of disciplinary records; motion passed unanimously.
The Skamania School District board approved the first reading of a revised School Choice Policy (Policy 3141) that clarifies how applications for nonresident attendance and home-based instruction will be evaluated. Principal Katie Chavarria presented the revisions, which explicitly allow consideration of student behavior and disciplinary records when reviewing applications.
During the discussion, Angus Anderson asked staff to clarify the difference between home-based instruction and homeschooling and Lisa Young asked whether staff children receive any preference under the criteria. Angus moved to approve the first reading, Donald Collins seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
