A policy relating to gender identification was approved. Students must use the restroom that matches the gender they were assigned at birth, or they may use a separate facility. The policy also sets disciplinary actions for misusing the policy.

Kelly Watson was named sponsor of the newly formed Rodeo Club.
Pirate football fans may get to own a piece of team history soon. The board declared some surplus items to be junked or sold, including the Costner Stadium scoreboard.

The old softball field scoreboard and an obsolete ramp also were declared surplus.
The board also approved several fundraisers and out-of-state trips for the coming months.
In personnel matters, they accepted the resignations of Finance Director Valerie Martin, Vo-Ag teacher Crystal Shipman and Maintenance person Jerry Beal.
