ADRIAN Changes to the Adrian Public Schools student handbook might be coming in the near future after the district’s board of education listened to a presentation from a law firm at its virtual meeting Monday.
An attorney from Thrun Law Firm of East Lansing told the board that some of its current policies in the handbook might not be up to date with state regulations.
Specifically, Raymond Davis pointed out that the handbook’s policies on student discipline and sexual harassment both could be updated.
Davis said Adrian’s current penalty for a student s failure to adhere to the district’s sexual harassment policy is a three- to five-day suspension. Meanwhile, legislation stemming from Title IX a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in a school or other federally funded education program is more severe than three to five days.
