BTU Calls for Review of School Conduct Code
Baltimore Teachers Union (BTU) president Marietta English has called for a review and revision of the new Code of Conduct for Baltimore City schools. The new code allows students caught with weapons such as knives or guns to remain in school. Under the previous code, students who committed such infractions automatically were suspended or expelled.
Wellness Clarification
Wellness Clarification
Some of the date information presented with regard to wellness was perhaps a bit misleading. Because this did not get settled in a timely fashion, it was determined that no changes would be made to the wellness plan for this year. Next year, Phase 1 (which requires an action plan and a higher penalty for non-participation in the biometric health screening) will be introduced. For now, business as usual.
