The following Board members were present:  President Romens, Dave Blum via phone, Ann Staiert, and Henry Clark. Craig Patzer was absent.

 

New Business

Following discussion, Ann Staiert made a motion to approve the good conduct rule as presented.  Henry Clark seconded the motion. Blum, Romens and Staiert voted yes. Clark voted no. Motion carried.

 

Henry requested the following statement go on record: This code of conduct encompasses 24 hours a day and 365 days a year for students participating in extracurricular activities. Of the 10 cited violations, nine of them already carry legal penalties within our society. No formalized moral or societal training will be provided by the School Board as part of the school curriculum. I view this application of the code to be regressive in nature. The code should cover all students and only during school related functions and on school property. We are an educational institution, yet we allow students the potential to have all D’s to continue to participate in extracurricular activities and would penalize an A student for a lapse in judgment for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. If the School Board wishes to become the pre-dominant moral purveyor, then I recommend a forum with the community to discuss a Parochial, military or club oriented application. Looking back at my youth about half the students participated in extracurricular events and half did not. Why are we only implementing a resource that only covers half of the student population, that already is engaged in societal and moral endeavors and leaving the non- participating group behind. The community selected us as School Board members serving all student’s interest, including the non-participating students. My recommendation is for the School Board to develop a moral/societal education forum first, before developing a regressive penalty program which is already covered by our legal system, leaving out half of our student population.

 

As there was no further business to come before the Board at this time, a motion was made by Ann Staiert and seconded by Henry Clark to adjourn the special meeting at 7:07 a.m. All voted “aye”. Motion carried.
