Marion Public Schools · Jun 9, 2026

Day-to-day

What happened

The June joint agenda scheduled review of a fully rewritten student time-out, seclusion, and restraint policy required by new state regulations.

Why it matters to families

These rules govern high-stakes interventions involving student safety and must be in place before the new school year.

The evidence

The June 9 agenda says policy JKAA was entirely rewritten to align with new state regulations and that DESE required the policy and procedures by August 17, 2026. The agenda documents the proposed review, not final adoption.
