Attention Fredonia School Community:
We hope you are enjoying your summer.
At our BOE meeting earlier in the week, we reviewed some potential updates to our Code of Conduct. As part of our process, we are creating an opportunity for feedback from our school community. Please feel free to share information with an email or call directly to our Superintendent, Brad Zilliox, at bzilliox@fcsd.wnyric.org or call 679-1581 ext. 2701. We are open to any thoughts or perspectives you are willing to share.
You will note that most of the adjustments fall under either our dress code or electronics portions of our code. In terms of dress code, we have attempted to adjust the language to be more universal and not target one set of individuals over others. Some school districts have been accused of their codes being either sexist or discriminatory and these changes are meant to be counter to such claims. Additionally, our electronic device guidelines have become individualized to the particular school buildings based on the age of the students. The principals are responsible for informing faculty, students, and families of the guidelines for their particular building. If an electronic device is permitted, the students may not use it in such a way to violate the privacy of others. Students may not use their device to audio record, take photos, or take videos unless they are part of a school sanctioned classroom assignment.
A draft of potential changes to our Code of Conduct is linked on our website here: https://www.fredonia.wnyric.org/page/code-of-conduct
Again, thanks for any feedback you would like to share. We ask that any information be submitted before July 28.
