Board updates policies, discusses handbooks

Posted

Review of board policies and adoption of various handbooks were on the agenda when the Wayne Community Schools' Board of Education met in regular session on Monday.

The meeting began with a presentation from FBLA Advisor Kiley Koch and member Jordyn Gamble.

New business included first reading of policies dealing with bulletin boards; purchasing policies; record management; part-time enrollment; admission-residency-contracting; option enrollment; option enrollment resolution; attendance; student discipline policy; graduation; annual organizational meeting and designated method of giving notice.

An interlocal agreement was approved with Wayne State College for use of the college's facilities.

An interlocal agreement with the city of Wayne for a School Resource Officer was also approved with the only change being in the cost to the district.

Book bags will no longer be allowed in the classrooms for 7-12 grade students. In addition, there will be a four-minute passing period for these students rather than the current three-minutes. Sophomores will no longer be allowed to leave campus for the coming school year.

Administration reports included such items as the annual safety and security review, Spring Sprints, senior events, including graduation on Saturday, May 16 at 1 p.m., testing throughout the district, book fairs and Kindergarten Round-Up.
