Trustees propose a 'parent expectations' page and volunteer accountability

Several trustees asked staff to draft language for a parent code of conduct or 'parent expectations' section to be added to handbooks and enrollment documentation. Trustees said parent behavior can escalate at school events and that written expectations would give staff a tool to address inappropriate conduct and — if necessary — limit access to events.

Suggestions included adding a signature page for parents at enrollment or handbook acknowledgement, posting expectations at athletic events, and creating a process for escalating serious incidents (on-site principal intervention, superintendent meeting, or trespass procedures). Staff noted there are existing legal constraints for banning parents from public school property and said they would draft wording consistent with state law and district practice.
