Board reviews unified staff handbook and gives junior–senior high handbook a first reading
Summary
Board members discussed updates to a unified staff handbook (organizational charts, hyperlinks to law and board policy) and completed a first reading of the junior–senior high student handbook; vote on the staff handbook was deferred to the next meeting.
Director (S3) told the board that the unified staff handbook has been updated (including organizational charts and hyperlinks to relevant laws and board policies) and that hard copies have been made available for review. "State law trumps board policy," the Director said, noting the online handbook is cross-linked so readers can follow regulatory and policy citations.
The junior–senior high handbook was placed on first reading; due to its length the packet did not include a printed copy but it is available on BoardDocs. Board members discussed practical items such as phone/contact procedures for parents and how students will be reached during the school day; the elementary student/parent handbook (updated with a cell-phone policy and new cover) was later approved as presented.
