Hiring and Schedule Update
Rationale:
With our recent hire in the middle school, Principals and Counselors have been able to dial in next year's schedule. The schedule is a working draft, but overall reflects how we will go about things to start the 2025-26 school year.

Cell Phone Policy
Rationale:
With the recent passing of LB 140, we need to have a discussion regarding our cell phone policy.
In addition, we will allow for any public comment regarding the cell phone policy to get the public's input, should they wish to attend the work session. Further, we will survey our public for their input as well before making any final adjustments to the policy/procedure for the 2025-26 school year. |

Attendance
Rationale:
Chronic Absenteeism continues to be a challenge for Nebraska schools. We would like to discuss current attendance policy and procedures and get input on some ideas to better manage absenteeism and improve our district's numbers related to chronic absenteeism.

Final Exams Policy/Procedure
Rationale:
Currently, all HS courses give a final exam. While having "finals" certainly has it's merits, discussing our approach to this policy/procedure would be beneficial to align our practice with the current practice that colleges are using related to "finals".
