For those who wish to speak to the Board, please note the following: You are given three separate opportunities to speak. The first is during "Public Comment" on a topic not included in the agenda but pertaining to the general business of the district, and this opportunity occurs after adjournment of regular meetings. The second is on one or more agenda items upon which the Board will vote, and this opportunity occurs after the special order agenda at regular meetings and as appropriate at special meetings. The third is at public hearings, such as budget hearings and second readings on Board policy, when you are able to speak during the public hearing and regarding the topic of the public hearing. In each case, you Must register to speak with the Superintendent’s designee at the entrance to the meeting room as described below; Must register prior to the time the Chairperson calls for speakers for that speaking opportunity or before the last speaker for that opportunity concludes their comments, whichever is later; Will be called in the order you registered with the Superintendent's designee; Will be allotted three (3) minutes, which may only be extended with the approval of the chairperson or a majority vote of the Board; and May not yield your time to any other person. To avoid repetition, speakers supporting or opposing the same issue are encouraged to designate a spokesperson and have the spokesperson request that members of the audience supporting the position stand during the presentation. The following additional procedures apply depending upon the specific speaking opportunity: If a speaker wants to supplement their three (3) minute presentation, the speaker should provide the Board office with written materials prior to the meeting. Board members will make every effort to review these materials. Board members may not be able to review materials received less than two (2) business days prior to the Board meeting. The Board will not act on any matter raised by a speaker prior to the next regular meeting. If a majority of the Board desires to further consider a matter raised by a speaker, they will request the Superintendent to bring a recommendation at a future workshop or meeting or otherwise address the issue. It is generally the Board's practice not to respond to the issues brought forward by speakers except to correct inaccuracies or clarify issues. Speakers may not use any of the speaking opportunities to advertise or otherwise promote the interests of any commercial or other non-school organizations, except when recognizing school or district partners or when one of the exceptions in Policy 9700.01 applies. Further, no speaker may advertise or otherwise promote a political candidate, question or party. Regulation of Disruptive Speech Board meetings are a limited open forum for First Amendment purposes and your exercise of your First Amendment right of free speech in that context will be recognized and protected, subject to reasonable restrictions as to time, place and manner.

Revised 08/08/22 File Attachments 6. Unfinished Business Subject 6.1 Public Hearing to Consider the Amendments to Policies 5500.07 – Code of Student Conduct – Discipline, 5500.08 – Code of Student Conduct – Misconduct that Requires Specific Consequences, and 5500.09 – Code of Student Conduct – Conduct on School Buses. (This is the Second Reading. There are no changes.) Meeting Jul 14, 2026 - Regular School Board Meeting - 10 a.m. Type Action Budget Source There is no financial impact to the district. Recommended Action Approve the amendments to Policies 5500.07 – Code of Student Conduct – Discipline, 5500.08 – Code of Student Conduct – Misconduct that Requires Specific Consequences, and 5500.09 – Code of Student Conduct – Conduct on School Buses. Goals 4. Strategic Priority 2: Safe and Respectful Climate and Culture BACKGROUND: Annually, the district engages with stakeholders to inform updates to the Code of Student Conduct. Concurrently, the district reviews the policies in the Code of Student Conduct to ensure alignment with legislative updates and with state and district practices. The proposed amendments are intended to provide greater clarity for all stakeholders on engaging in education, appropriate behavior, and consequences for misbehavior. The following policies are recommended for amendment: Policy 5500.07 – Code of Student Conduct – Discipline Policy 5500.08 – Code of Student Conduct – Misconduct that Requires Specific Consequences Policy 5500.09 – Code of Student Conduct – Conduct on School Buses Policy 5500.07 – Code of Student Conduct – Discipline The proposed amendment consolidates the misconduct, disciplinary action, suspension, and expulsion policies currently contained in Policies 5500.07, 5500.10, and 5500.12 into a single, cohesive policy. As part of this consolidation, each of the discipline policies was reviewed and revised. The comprehensive redline drafts of the changes were discussed during the School Board Workshop on April 21, 2026. Substantive changes include: clarifying discipline expectations and reinforcing that disciplinary actions are reasonable, timely, fair, age-appropriate, and based on the specific circumstances of the misconduct; clarifying the terms of disciplinary reassignment, and specifying that disciplinary reassignment is not subject to appeal; incorporating suspension, reassignment, and expulsion provisions previously contained in Policies 5500.10 and 5500.12; removing the Wireless Communication Devices section to inform the adoption of a standalone policy; and adding definitions, clarifying language, and eliminating redundancy. Policy 5500.08 – Code of Student Conduct – Misconduct that Requires Specific Consequences This policy outlines the specific acts and consequences required by law. Therefore, the recommended amendment includes: clarifying the language related to the reassignment process for felony arrests and off-campus conduct; removing the suspension process, as it is thoroughly incorporated into the recommended amendment to Policy 5500.07; and technical changes, primarily restructuring sentences to improve clarity. Policy 5500.09 – Code of Student Conduct – Conduct on School Buses and Electric Transportation The proposed amendment adds a section addressing electric transportation. The additions include: updating the policy name to include electric transportation; defining electric transportation devices; requiring storage in designated bike compounds; prohibiting on‑campus charging; and establishing safety requirements, including prohibiting use on School Board property and requiring compliance with state law. RATIONALE: The proposed amendments ensure alignment between policy and practice and enhance clarity for all stakeholders.

(This is the Second Reading. There are no changes.) Meeting Jul 14, 2026 - Regular School Board Meeting - 10 a.m. Type Action Fiscal Impact No Recommended Action Approve the repeal of Policies 5500.10 – Code of Student Conduct – Disciplinary Action and 5500.12 – Code of Student Conduct – Suspension/Expulsion, and the adoption of policy 5500.10 – Code of Student Conduct – Wireless Communication Devices. Goals 4. Strategic Priority 2: Safe and Respectful Climate and Culture BACKGROUND : As part of the annual updates to the Code of Student Conduct, this recommendation proposes repealing Policies 5500.10 – Code of Student Conduct – Disciplinary Action, and 5500.12 – Code of Student Conduct – Suspension/Expulsion, and adopting a new Policy 5500.10 titled Code of Student Conduct – Wireless Communication Devices. The repeal would follow the approval of the amendment to Policy 5500.07 – Code of Student Conduct – Discipline, which streamlines student discipline requirements into a single, cohesive policy by incorporating content from the current Policies 5500.10 and 5500.12. The new Policy 5500.10 – Code of Student Conduct – Wireless Communication Devices makes the following substantive changes: separates wireless communication device rules from the student discipline policy; reorders the existing content to improve flow; revises the definition of a wireless communication device; adds a definition for wearable recording devices, such as smart glasses; creates a new section describing the prohibited use of wearable recording devices; and specifies that smartwatches are only to be used for location tracking and timekeeping. RATIONALE : The proposed amendments ensure alignment between policy and practice and improve clarity for all stakeholders.
