New board leadership, handbook changes and budget concerns | School Board Dist. 186

Big changes for District 186:

– New board members were sworn in, and the board elected a new president.

– The meeting celebrated student achievements, including the Lanphier High School band’s festival win, statewide coaching honors, and a future educator signing day.

But the spotlight was on the updated Student and Family Handbook:

– Stricter attendance rules for career programs.

– New tech policies covering everything from Google accounts to smartwatches.

– Continued ban on hoods and pajama pants.

The board also debated tough budget questions:

– Concerns about health insurance deficits.

– Questions about why more teaching positions are being cut compared to administrative roles.

Catch the details on what’s changing in our schools, how the board is handling a growing deficit, and what’s next for students and staff. Graduation dates and Memorial Day reminders are included too.

Two videos, due to executive session.
