As the Greenwood and Loyal school districts plan to officially consolidate in just under three years, they are trying to hone in on a timeline and what planning pieces they want done when. The school boards met jointly last Wednesday in Loyal to discuss a preliminary resolution to consider consolidation, hear a presentation from CESA 10 on their facility study services, discuss aligning student fees, and hear from the public.
The Loyal School District is expanding its offerings for its littlest learners by providing child care before and after school for ages 3 and up, and a daytime program for 3-year-olds. The hope is this service will benefit the community and boost district enrollment.

Currently in the Stanley-Boyd School District policy manual under number 5136-Personal Communication Devices, the district is defining phone use more restrictively-no more check-ins between classes. Read for the first time at the June board meeting, the new policy as proposed strikes language allowing personal communication device (PCD) use before or after school, at lunch, and between classes. Left below this is a single sentence: “In order to avoid disruption of the educational environment and protect student’s right of privacy, student use of PCDs is prohibited on school grounds during school hours. PCDs intended or actually used for instructional purposes such as ‘taking notes, recording classroom lectures, writing papers will be permitted,’ as approved by the building principal.”
