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.
