The Board of Managers approved the first reading of a proposed new board policy on released time for student attendance (Policy FEF LOCAL).

What it means for you

If this policy is ultimately adopted, it would establish district rules governing when students may be released from school for approved purposes.

Outcome

Adopted as part of the board's consent agenda, not by individual vote: "On motion by board member Rosales, with a second by board member Gore, the board voted to approve items on the agenda by consensus."
