AKRON, Ohio-In June, the Akron Board of Education discussed several policy updates and operational matters. They approved a new social media policy focusing on district-controlled channels and outlined consequences for employees posting harmful content while identifying as district staff. Additionally, the board approved background checks for non-employee volunteer chaperones, with discussions on funding options to mitigate the associated fees. At the Finance Committee meeting, the board reviewed proposals for van services, noting significant interest from minority and woman-owned businesses, as well as the district’s ongoing transportation arrangements for students.
