What happened

In July 2026 the board updated policy so trained staff can give emergency epinephrine on buses, at away games and on field trips, even without a doctor's order for that student. It also moved report cards from six-week to nine-week grading periods.

Why it matters to families

Students with severe allergies get emergency coverage away from campus. Families will get report cards less often.

The evidence

July 2026 regular meeting recording, discussion of local policy changes and the grading schedule.
