Board approves school handbooks after state-driven attendance and cell-phone updates
Summary
The Scott County School District 2 board approved middle school, elementary, and high school handbooks that incorporate state-mandated changes to attendance and cell phone policies; the board discussed communicating changes to families.
Board members discussed and approved three student handbooks that incorporate recent changes required by state law. Members singled out the attendance and cell phone policy updates as the most significant changes, and asked staff to notify families through ParentSquare and other communications.
Superintendent and board members emphasized that some handbook changes resulted from state law updates. A motion to approve the middle school, elementary, and high school handbooks passed on a roll call vote recorded in the meeting minutes as 5-0.
Board members asked administration to ensure parents understand the new rules and to publish the handbooks and explanations on the district website and through ParentSquare ahead of the first day of school.
