Rationale:  State statute requires that the board hold a public hearing on this policy to discuss, consider, and receive input, and then either alter and adopt the revised policy or reaffirm the policy as written.  

Rationale: 

At the request of the Board of Education, Myron Sikora, FHS Principal convened a committee to study the High Schools current requirements.   The purpose of the committee work was to consider modifications to bring the policy in line with other school districts while honoring and recognizing individuals that exceed the minimum requirements. 

On May 17 the committee presented their recommendations to the Board of Education Policy Committee for consideration.  The Policy Committee agreed with the changes and offered additional accountability for students / parents who are pursuing the standard diploma (210 credit hours) - a meeting attended by the student, parent, guidance counselor and administrative representative is required as part of the process.

The attached amended policy is recommended for approval.  It is further recommended that the second reading is waived to allow for the amended policy to be incorporated into the student handbooks for the 2022-23 school year. 

Rationale:  Statutes require that there be a public hearing each year concerning the revenues under student fees and any policy revisions.  The President will call for a motion to open the hearing on Student Fees.  We will present any appropriate information and obtain any public comment after which the President will close the hearing and move on to the next item, approval of revised policy.  

Rationale: 

It is requested that the Board waive the two-reading requirement a provided in Board Policy 85E and approve the policy and administrative regulations after one reading.  This is requested in order to publish the policy as a part of the handbooks rather than as an addendum.
