8. JHFB Cooperative Agreement with High Plains
Due to the number of expected participants at Fullerton and at High Plains, it is being
recommended that we form a cooperative program for the 2025-2026 school year.
9. Approval of Staff and Student Handbooks
Enclosed is a copy of the summary of changes for each handbook.
10. Policy Work Session
Policies and Rules to review:
Meetings - Policy 2008; Staff Handbook - Policy 3026; Admission of Students - Policy
5002; Admission of PartTime Students-Policy 5003; Student Appearance - Policy 5031;
Student Fees - Policy 5045; Anti-bullying- Policy 5054 (Annual Review); Cell Phone -
Policy 5045; <Eliminate>Handbooks - Policy 5034
Some of these updates are a result of legislation that was completed after the legal
counsel sent out in May. They sent a new batch out this week. The Student
Appearance policy reflects revised wording that is more responsive to rural schools
but still meets the intent of legislation. If the board chooses to further discuss and take
any action on these plans, they may do so at this time. It is recommended to approve
as presented.
11. Approval of Nurse Contract with Genoa Hospital
We have a nurse contract with Genoa Medical Facilities for approval (enclosed). The
monthly costs have increased from $8,942.27/month to $9,210.94/month.
12. Option Enrollment
Three siblings have requested and been approved to option enroll based on the
continuation clause of option enrollment guidelines.
