From emergency weather to student use of mobile phones, a long list of policies awaits the Anderson County Board of Education for decision.
As usual, citizens may comment during the meeting, which will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 10, on the top floor of 101 South Main St., Clinton.

They include policies regarding emergency preparedness, virtual education, use of the internet, substitute teachers, attendance – including permission to leave school for religious classes, library materials, preventing discrimination and harassment of students and employees, rules on student use of mobile phones and other wireless communications devices and more.
