D89 board keeps character-education language in curriculum policy after first read

The Board conducted a first reading of multiple updated policies from PRESS Issue 120 and reached consensus on at least two points: it will not remove character-education language from policy 6:60 (Curriculum Content), and the Board agreed a district Behavior Interventions Committee should not be coordinated by an external special education cooperative. Trustees discussed that character-education traits — "respect, responsibility, fairness, caring" — should remain explicitly taught in all grades, contrary to a PRESS recommendation to remove the phrasing following statutory changes.
