Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
Field-trip policies would allow the district to postpone trips, and one duplicative procedure document may be eliminated. Health-education policies are being aligned with the state framework, including replacing references to “parents” with “caregiver.” The restraint and seclusion policy will return in April after feedback from the Special Education Parent Advisory Council, and the cell-phone policy will be sent to student groups for review.
