Board approves 2026–27 student handbooks and tighter valedictorian eligibility
Summary
Board approved 2026–27 student handbooks with formatting and assessment clarifications and backed a change requiring valedictorians to have attended Monroe for at least three years; online/homeschooled students must take proctored finals and complete an application process for online enrollment.
The board approved the 2026–27 student handbooks after modest formatting updates to align the high school handbook with grade-school language and to unify the discipline matrix across secondary grades. Mr. Fielder summarized the changes as largely formatting and noted administrative clarifications for assessments and proctoring of finals for online students.
Board members agreed on a residency/eligibility clarification for valedictorian status that would require students to have been at Monroe for at least three years. The board also confirmed that homeschooled students enrolled through the district continue to qualify provided they complete proctored finals in person and complete an application process for online enrollment.
