# August 14, 2026 Ad Hoc Governance Committee Meeting

The August 14, 2026 Ad Hoc Governance Committee meeting of SaintJosephSchools focused on the district’s homeschooling notification procedure under policy IGBI. Principals and administrators described difficulties obtaining signed forms from families, including delays that leave students on attendance rosters, affect attendance and graduation-rate reporting, and require staff follow-up. The committee discussed allowing documented verbal communication of a family’s intent to homeschool instead of requiring written notification before removing a student from district rolls; staff noted that families could reenroll students if communication was misunderstood.

A motion to recommend revising the policy language to cover parents and guardians who communicate their intent to pursue other educational options and request that the student be dropped from district rolls was seconded and approved by voice vote. The recommendation is to be taken to the board as an action item, with an update to staff; the transcript does not indicate final board approval. No procurement, contracts, or spending actions were identified.
