Wellness committee recommends handbook updates; discipline changes sent to attorney for review
Summary
The Wellness Committee proposed handbook updates about energy drinks and providing families immunization-exposure information; the Discipline Committee suggested language changes and adding written bullying notification to administrative procedures, pending attorney review for school-code compliance.
The board heard updates from its Wellness Committee, which recommended administrative-procedure and student handbook changes addressing energy drinks and caffeinated products on campus and asked for additional family-facing information about immunization requirements and state-mandated exclusion periods for unvaccinated students exposed to certain illnesses. Administration said those updates will be incorporated into procedures and the handbook for the upcoming school year.
Separately, the Discipline Committee proposed small language changes to district discipline procedures and suggested adding a written notification step for bullying incidents to align practice with existing district habits. The board asked administration to check the recommended language with the district attorney to ensure the edits fit within the Illinois School Code before formal adoption.
