Board reviews Portal school success and clear bag procedures

Portal school highlighted

The Board of Education highlighted Portal Middle High School’s success during a board discussion. The school’s accomplishments were part of the board’s review of school-related matters.

Clear bag procedures reviewed

The board also reviewed new clear bag procedures. The procedure addresses which bags may be brought into school-related events and is intended to give students, families and visitors a clear standard to follow.

What the board’s review means

The discussion places two school matters together: recognition of Portal Middle High School and attention to event procedures. Families and visitors should look for instructions from the school system about how the clear bag procedures will apply and when they take effect.

The board’s review does not itself provide additional details about the school’s achievements or the specific types and sizes of bags covered by the procedure.
