The Examiner U-46 News FeedU-46 vote set for changes to student conduct code By Seth Hancock
The Board of Education in School District U-46 is set to vote on updates to the Student Code of Conduct as well as a series of resolutions at its upcoming meeting on Monday, June 20.
The items were presented on June 6.
The changes to the code are largely grammatical and updated language based on changes in state law, according to Lela Majstorovic, assistant superintendent of schools.
However, Majstorovic said there’s clarification to “some of the infraction events” like “attendance referral for tardy and truancy, we clarified so it’s says ‘tardy’ only.”
Majstorovic added: “One of the larger areas is around the suspension appeal process. So, as opposed to the superintendent’s designee hearing these suspension appeals, the suspension appeals will go straight to the Board of Education to hear and then make a determination.”
An annual resolution approving of hazardous transportation area designations was presented.
The resolution states “there have been no changes in conditions within School District U-46 which were previously classified as Hazardous Areas and approved by the Illinois State Board of Education for free transportation status.”
Resolutions to transfer $300,000 of interest earnings from the working cash fund to the operations and maintenance fund, allowing participation in federal and state programs and to allow the school treasurer to make bond and interest payments will also be voted on.
Also to be voted on is a modification to an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Streamwood Park District. The IGA was” originally executed in 2001, allowing the school district to build a parking lot on park district property at Hanover Countryside Elementary School in exchange for park district use of the playfields at Canton Middle School, Tefft Middle School, Sunnydale Elementary School, and Streamwood Elementary School,” the proposal stated.
The modifications update the facilities to be used by the park district.
