Executive Director Satterfield presented Policy 4-201, the district’s code of conduct, as a first reading at the Litchfield Elementary School District Governing Board meeting on Dec. 9, 2025, noting the policy had been shared previously but was inadvertently omitted from the most recent policy review.

Satterfield said the policy “delineates our expectations and prohibitions for our employees so that there’s clear understanding of the expectations for conduct in Litchfield Elementary School District.” Board members asked clarifying procedural questions about where the item had been in prior materials and were told the omission was an administrative error; the policy will be brought back to the board for consideration and approval at a future meeting.

No formal action was taken on Policy 4-201 tonight; board members expressed appreciation for the opportunity to review the policy and asked staff to return the item with the corrected review history.

The board will consider the policy again at a subsequent meeting, at which time members may move for adoption.
