The cover of the new Unionville High School student handbook.<\/p><\/div>\n

EAST MARLBOROUGH \u2014 Monday night’s Unionville Chadds-Ford School Board Meeting was brief, including only the voting items needed to ensure a smooth start to the upcoming school year.<\/p>\n

Student handbooks for elementary, middle, and high schools were approved.\u00a0 The updated handbooks better mirror district policies.\u00a0 The Athletics piece is now a separate book (which is up for \u201cfirst read,\u201d found here<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Board President Jeff Hellrung noted that the dress code is now much less prescriptive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re asking our students to dress \u2018appropriately\u2019 ” Hellrung said. “We are trusting our students and our parents– that they are not going to let the students out the door if they are dressed inappropriately.\u00a0 And we are trusting our Administration for cases when they feel the line has been crossed, and students are dressed in a way that\u2019s disruptive to our academic program, that (it) will be reined in and corrected.\u00a0 And when that happens, administrators–I\u2019m sure– will act using your good judgement and that we will be supporting you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Superintendent John Sanville reiterated that a committee is currently reviewing policy 218, the Code of Student Conduct. <\/a>\u00a0This policy deals with student rights and responsibilities, discipline infractions and resulting penalties, the suspension rescission opportunity for first-time offenders, and bullying.\u00a0 With meetings held throughout the summer, the committee is on target to make recommendations to the Board in September.\u00a0 Board and community feedback should be directed to Assistant Superintendent John Nolen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A new English textbook as well as several new novels were approved for the high school.<\/p>\n

Handbooks, documents and videos related to this meeting are found on the UCFSD website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next Up:\u00a0 Curriculum\/Instruction Meeting on August 13th at 4:30, and then the Work Session at 7:30.\u00a0 Both meetings take place in room 14 at the District Office, adjacent to the High School.\u00a0 They will be broadcasted live (and archived) on the UCFSD web site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
