Board adopts administrative updates to code of conduct, shifts to digital access
Summary
Trustees approved minor administrative changes to the district code of conduct, including replacing 'community norms' with 'school norms', moving to digital access (with hard copies available), and adding a student acknowledgement and training on how to access the code online.
The board approved administrative-rule revisions to the district code of conduct at final reading, endorsing changes staff described as "minor" but focused on access and consistency. Dr. Kelvin Williams walked trustees through the edits, including replacing references to "community norms" with "school norms" to reflect diverse school populations, and making summaries and the code available digitally rather than distributing paper copies.
Trustees asked about parental acknowledgement and where signed forms would be kept; Williams said administrators will retain student acknowledgement forms in each building and that one school is piloting a digital signature process for next semester. He also noted the code-of-conduct review remains part of annual training; the revised administrative rule was approved by unanimous vote.
