Plano ISD board approves multiple policy updates on elections, distance learning and academic rules
Summary
The board approved or advanced several policy items on first or second reading, including adoption of policy BBB (board elections) and EHDE (distance learning) on second readings and approval of other local policies on first reading; votes were unanimous where recorded.
Deputy Superintendent Celinda Freeman presented revisions to a suite of local policies and the board considered motions and votes throughout the evening. Policy BBB (local board member elections) and EHDE (local alternative methods for earning credit — distance learning) were presented for second reading and adopted by unanimous votes. Several other policy updates (BBG compensation, BDA officers and officials duties, EIC class ranking, EIF graduation plan on first reading, and FM student activities) were presented and approved on first reading.
Freeman noted that revisions to the EIF graduation policy remove additional local course requirements beyond those mandated by the state; the student health advisory committee (SHAC) will be asked to provide input before the policy's second reading. Where motions and seconds were recorded, trustees moved and seconded by name; votes were recorded as unanimous 7–0 in the transcript for the items presented.
