Board adopts 6–12 handbook updates; online-course failure may require return to in-person instruction

Whitehall School District · August 19, 2026

Summary

Trustees approved 6–12 handbook changes: cell-phone procedures differ by level (high-school permissive, middle-school phones held until seventh period), honors/dual-credit weighting clarified, and students who fail a majority of online classes may be required to return to in-person instruction.

Presenter (Jason, S4) told trustees the 6–12 handbook was updated to align board-policy references and to clarify expectations for electronic and online learning. S4 said the high-school policy permits students to have cell phones at passing time, lunch and before/after school, while middle-school phones will be turned in to office safekeeping and returned at seventh period.

S4 also added a provision addressing online course completion: students who repeatedly take online classes and fail a majority may be required to return to in-person instruction the following semester or seek another educational option. The board moved, seconded and approved the 6–12 handbook provisions and the motion passed by voice vote.
