The Hanover County School Board approved revisions to Policy 5‑3.6 (hours of employment, work day, staff time schedule) on Aug. 11. Leah Hahn (S15) presented the changes as cosmetic updates derived from Virginia School Boards Association (VSBA) language; no change in legal requirements was reported.
"I move to approve the proposed revised policy five-3.6 hours of employment, work day, staff time schedule as presented," Mr. Coleman (S14) said when making the motion. The motion was seconded and passed on a voice vote.
Presenters said the edits were intended to make the policy clearer and more user-friendly; the policy will be posted for staff and returned to the board in any future revisions required by changes in law.
No budgetary changes or statutory changes were reported in connection with the update.
