Rockford board approves nondiscrimination assurance and adopts updated board handbook
Summary
The Rockford Board of Education unanimously approved the district's Assurance and Compliance with State and Federal Law Prohibiting Discrimination and adopted revisions to the Board Handbook during its Oct. 21 meeting.
The Rockford Board of Education unanimously approved the district’s Assurance and Compliance with State and Federal Law Prohibiting Discrimination on Oct. 21 after Superintendent Dr. Jeff Ridlehoover presented the policy to the board.
Board member Johnson moved to approve the assurance and Praska seconded; “Motion passed unanimously,” the minutes record. The action formalizes the district’s commitment to comply with state and federal nondiscrimination laws, as presented by district leadership.
Directly after the assurance vote the board considered revisions to the Board Handbook. Johnson moved to approve the handbook revisions and Edwards seconded; the board again recorded that the “Motion passed unanimously.” The minutes indicate the handbook was presented as a final read and approved as presented.
The approvals were listed among other routine business during the meeting; no dissenting votes were recorded and no amendments to the policy or handbook language were shown in the minutes. The approvals will be reflected in the district’s policy files and handbook distribution to board members and staff.
