Description:
Once again Big Sandy ISD will offer summer school to many students. Primarily it is offered to any SSI student in grades 3, 5, 8 and High School.

This is 15 days of instruction. Summer school is Monday through Thursday. Plans have not been completely finalized at this time, for instance HS may move some days to the afternoon because of sharing of computer programs. BSISD will provide transportation to qualifying students in need of transportation. Recommendation: No action needed.

8)e. Proposed addition to Policy DH (LOCAL) Employee Standards of Conduct
|
|
|
Description:
We discussed this policy change in February. I have visited with TASB and Walsh Anderson concerning this change. Attached is the proposed change from TASB. Fraternization between Employees and Students. The opening statement is good, however i would eliminate #1, 2, and 4 leaving #3 with the exception of phone and email. I believe an employee at some times must communicate with students using phone and email however i do not believe it is appropriate to communicate through text messaging. Recommendation: Approve addition of language to Policy DH (LOCAL) as presented.
