Darien SD 61 approves first reading of suggested policy revisions, discusses student counseling limits
Summary
Board approved a first reading of suggested policy revisions July 22, 2025, including adoption of Policy 7.255, retaining language in Policy 2.260, and discussion of Policy 7.250 counseling limits for students age 12 and older.
The board approved the first reading of suggested policy revisions and recorded board discussion on several policy items. Board President Karen Buckels moved the motion to approve the suggested policy revisions; the board voted by roll call with seven ayes and no nays.
During discussion the board clarified policy content: Policy 7.255 was presented as a new policy to be adopted; Policy 2.260’s existing language was recommended to remain unchanged; Policy 7.250 was discussed in connection with State statute and described counseling parameters for students age 12 and older—allowing up to eight 90‑minute sessions without parental consent, after which parental consent is needed—and Policy 7.270 prompted a suggestion to consult the board attorney regarding its language.
