Online behavior outside school can bring students before the board
What happened
The revised conduct policy adopted June 16, 2026 covers inappropriate online behavior toward staff, students or parents, during or outside school hours. A student found to have done this must meet with the board along with their parents.
Why it matters to families
This extends school discipline to off-campus social media. The policy also says students won't be disciplined for declining to use someone's preferred pronouns.
