Turner board adopts student handbook changes including separation of lunches and removal of corporal punishment
Summary
The Turner Board approved student handbook revisions for 2025–2026 that separate middle and high school lunch periods, adjust weights and credits for high school courses, propose parental sign-off for concurrent-enrolled students who leave campus, and remove corporal punishment following legal changes.
The Turner Board of Education voted to approve proposed student handbook changes for the 2025–2026 school year during its March 10, 2025 meeting.
Key changes recorded in the minutes include separating middle school and high school lunch periods 'due to too many students,' adjustments to weights and credits for high school classes, specific accommodations for seniors taking concurrent enrollment courses including parental sign-off and on-campus supervision plans, and removal of corporal punishment "due to the law changing." The minutes record the board made and seconded the motion to adopt the handbook changes but do not provide a detailed roll-call tally.
Board members discussed implementation logistics for concurrent-enrolled students, noting the potential need for an additional staff member or teacher to monitor students who remain on campus. The minutes do not identify the staff member who presented the handbook revisions beyond the principal's report that preceded this agenda item.
