Board approves student handbook changes allowing combined graduation pathways and eligibility clarification
Summary
The board approved handbook updates clarifying eligibility for competitions for students with chronic absences and allowing combined graduation pathways (for example, a college math course plus passing a state English test). A new student transportation policy was also noted.
The board approved updates to the student handbook that add procedures for students with chronic absences to coordinate with the principal or director to remain eligible for competitions, and clarified graduation pathways that allow combinations of coursework to meet requirements. The chair explained, "Now students can, like, for example, take a college math class and pass the state English test to graduate." The packet also included a new student transportation policy for board review.
A board member moved to approve the student handbooks with the new additions; the motion was seconded, a voice vote was taken and the motion carried. The changes will be reflected in the handbook packet starting on page 44.
