Could you please provide information on how the high school policy that prohibits students who are failing more than one class from attending clubs and school events is enforced? Is there a list of ineligible students that is checked when tickets are sold? if so, who sees this list? Do other students see the list? How does this actually work? Btw, I think the district really ought to look seriously at who is affected by this policy and what message it sends to them as to noninclusiveness and consider terminating the policy.
A. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzhTFNVk126-SW9BN1VwQWlRZWc/view Academics: A report is run after every interim and quarter for students failing 2 or more subjects.

At times, students are required to wear gloves as a precaution and/or teachable practice when certain materials or chemicals are being used. However, students at the Middle School and High School levels are not exposed to or allowed to […]
So, Shen has a Twitter, but it’s blocked on Shen’s Campus… The Shen BYOD denies access to personal cellular networks or plans and denies access to Virtual Private Networks. So there is no way to access Shen’s Twitter without breaking the BYOD policy. Could you at least unblock Shen’s Twitter? Or add a separate section regarding news on Shenet?
A. It is not possible to whitelist an individual Twitter feed.
