Vote on Henry County school conduct code postponed

The Henry County Board of Education delayed a vote on the district’s amended code of conduct, choosing not to place it on the agenda for its May 11 business meeting.

The board was informed at its study session earlier the same day that the code is being updated further in response to a considerable amount of feedback during the past month, since it was released for public review and comment a month ago. The revised version of the code will be presented to the board at its June meeting, at which time the board is expected to vote on its adoption.

The school calendars for 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 were approved as scheduled.
