Despite the new policy appearing to be a reversal of a policy approved in the 2005-2006 year, which permitted juniors and seniors with C averages to leave with parental permission forms signed, district spokesman Jim Cummings said the new rules do not alter past policy. The closed campus policy has remained in high schools throughout the district in the 2007-2008 year, and is scheduled to continue.
District spokesman Jim Cummings clarified that the new policy does not contradict a previous one from 2005-2006, which permitted juniors and seniors with C averages to leave campus with signed parental permission forms. The closed campus policy has been in place across district high schools since the 2007-2008 year and is scheduled to continue.
