Revisions to Policy 544.1.3 STUDENT ACTIVITY DRUG TESTING
Discussion:
Dr. Crowder, Administrators, Secondary Principals, Counselors and Teachers met and decided to make some revisions to Policy 544.1.3, Student Activity Drug Testing. The proposed revisions do not change the intent of the policy but help clarify procedures. This coming school year, all students involved with extra-curricular activities will be tested before their activity begins. Radom screening will still continue throughout the year. The Board commended the Administrators for making an impact and staying on top of this issue.

|
Band Report
Discussion:
Dr. Crowder presented the Board with results from a band study that was conducted with Sapulpa band students. Administrators interviewed students asking a variety of questions concerning band. Some of the answers given from students concerning why they did not return to band were conflict in scheduling, changing interests, not enough time, band was becoming too intense and some felt pressure from the directors. Dr. Crowder feels that there are several factors contributing to the loss of numbers in the band program and the district will be making changes that will help benefit this program.
