Board approves MS/HS handbook changes including GPA scale and cell-phone policy
Summary
The board approved changes to the MS/HS student handbook that revise the GPA scale (C=2.5 through D-=1.0) and extend the mandated cell-phone policy to high school students with medical-use exceptions for IEP/504 plans.
Superintendent Leasa Griffith-Mathews reviewed the proposed 2026-27 middle/high school student handbook changes and explained how they will affect grade calculations and daily operations. She read the revised grade mapping: "The changes are as follows: C (2.5), C-(2.0), D+ (1.75), D (1.5), and D- (1.0)." The board discussed the changes and then voted to approve the handbook.
Griffith-Mathews also described an updated mandated cell phone policy now applied to high school students, permitting phone use before and after school and allowing acceptable use for medical cases documented in an IEP or 504 plan. The board approved the handbook by motion (Steinberger moved; King supported) with a recorded vote of 6 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent.
