Board approves 'Open Night' policy formalizing Wednesday/Sunday scheduling
Summary
On third reading the board adopted policy 11-21 to formalize scheduling expectations for Wednesday and Sunday evening activities; the policy retains superintendent and activities director discretion for exceptions.
The Board approved policy 11-21 (Open Night) on third reading, formalizing a longstanding, informal practice of limiting school-sponsored activities after 6:30 p.m. on certain evenings and clarifying exceptions. Superintendent Jason Alexander described the policy as a way to provide ‘‘clear direction to what the board's expectation should be this year,’’ and members noted the policy preserves discretion for the superintendent and activities director.
A board member referenced a handout distributed by a colleague (Doris) and expressed general support so long as the superintendent retains discretion for scheduling exceptions such as cancellations or NSAA events. The motion carried following a second and routine roll call vote.
