Presenter:
Greg Eding
Description:
We are turning the corner towards the Holidays.  This is a great time of the year where we still have a few warm days, but mostly we are bundling up and grabbing an extra coffee to keep warm.  

I am excited to say that Lakeshore beat Zeeland East in Football!  Zeeland East was my old rival in my previous job and to win did my heart some good.  We also have many state level competitions going on with all of our athletic teams, as well as for our performing arts.  It's great to see the kids doing their thing.

This past Wednesday we had 46 students get inducted into the Lakeshore National Honors Society.  It was a fantastic event that  Ms. Kinney from the High School put together.  Students spoke about Leadership, Service, Scholarship, and Character; the four traits within the NHS.  The event was held in our auditorium and we had a  nice turnout.

VI.A. Policy Committee
Presenter:
Scott Allan
Description:
The Policy Committee met on November 2, 2021, with the following members present:  Greg Eding, Bill Scaletta and Scott Allan.  The Policy Committee reviewed Board Policies and Administrative Guidelines in Volume 36.1 as identified by our Board Policy company, NEOLA, as needing an update due to changes in state and federal law.  We reviewed 10 Policies and their correlated Administrative Guidelines.  The bulk of our time was spent on a replacement Policy 5722 - School Sponsored Publications and Productions.  This replacement policy is similar to our current policy, but is updated to reflect new technology options that students now have including texting, video/audio, and social media.

The Policy Committee also spent time on Policy 0167.3, Public Participation at Board Meetings.  There are some updates to this policy to keep Lakeshore in line with the law.  Superintendent Eding will go through some options for this policy during his recommendations tonight.  He will also go through recommendations for each policy and Administrative Guidelines.
