The board moved to approve the audit; after public affirmation the board adopted the audit. \"It was a clean audit,\" one board member said, referring to the highest level of audit opinion.

Consent agenda and retirement

\"The superintendent and school district administration will establish rules and procedures regarding student possession and use of cell phones in schools,\" the draft policy reads, according to Associate Superintendent Melissa Sonnick. The policy language directs that the rules \"seek to minimize the impact of cell phones on student behavior, mental health, and academic attainment\" and allows administrators to craft rules specific to grade levels and buildings.

Sonnick and RAS associate principal Mike Schrader described the operational guidance staff developed in collaboration with principals. For grades K–8 staff proposed a \"away for the day\" approach: elementary students would check phones with the teacher or main office, and middle‑school students would keep phones silent and stored in backpacks or lockers during school hours. For grades 9–12 the guidance calls for a \"time and place\" approach, with phones stored at the start of class but allowed during passing time, lunch and before/after school.

Sonnick told the board the committee incorporated the Minnesota cell phone toolkit and was mindful of the 2024 Minnesota law that requires districts to adopt a policy on student possession and use of cell phones by March 2025. \"This approach enables administrators to craft flexible and specific rules that are specific to grade levels and buildings,\" she said.

Students interviewed by staff described mixed reactions to fall changes implemented at Ross. One student said, \"At first, I was pretty shocked and surprised… I didn't like it. I just like having my phone near me and, you know, I didn't wanna miss any notifications or messages.\" Other students said the change helped focus learning: \"I feel like I get more work done without it… I've just been doing my assignments and turning them in and not procrastinating.\" Several students suggested practical adjustments — such as assigned pockets or keeping phones in backpacks rather than bins — to address concerns including access during an emergency lockdown.

On AI, Sonnick said district technology leaders recommended embedding AI guidance into Policy 400 rather than creating a standalone policy. \"We don't see the necessity for a separate policy, specifically addressing artificial intelligence,\" she said, noting that AI features are already embedded in common productivity tools and that other districts have likewise not adopted separate AI policies. The draft also references plagiarism language in Policy 520.

Board members asked how staff would communicate changes and how the district will handle accommodations for students with IEP or 504 plans. Sonnick said site leaders would handle building‑level implementation and that accommodations for individual plans would be followed.

The board did not vote on the policy at the first reading; staff will incorporate feedback and return the item at a future meeting.","At the Feb. 10 meeting the Roseville Area School Board received a first reading of revisions to Policy 400 (acceptable use) to add a section directing administration to set cell phone rules and to incorporate AI guidance.

The calendar committee developed a holiday rubric in partnership with culture liaisons to guide which holidays should be treated as non‑school days. \"Our goal is to develop a calendar that keeps as many kids in school as possible,\" Sonnick said. She told the board the committee considered the district's top demographics and languages when creating the rubric.

Mike Schrader, RAS associate principal, summarized findings the committee used to shape options. The committee analyzed attendance patterns and categorized factors that affect absences as holidays, weather, and breaks. \"There were no implications for making changes in the calendar — we noticed higher absences in the front and the back end of a break, but that would be tough to prevent no matter when the breaks fell,\" Schrader said.

For the traditional calendar, staff proposed only modest changes from the current year. For the year‑round calendar, staff proposed two changes that would affect Harambee: reducing consecutive short weeks before the fall intercession to provide more full weeks for teaching, and making the last weekday for students a Friday with the following Monday reserved as a teacher workshop day. Schrader said teachers reported that consecutive short weeks created \"somewhat difficult weeks in the building\" and that more full weeks were \"more conducive to teaching and learning.\" He also acknowledged the change would create a larger imbalance in the number of days between first and second semesters but said educators judged the tradeoff acceptable.

Board members thanked the committee for its work. Director Bertra Goggins praised the holiday consideration and the calendar committee's broad membership: \"You're only as good as your team…it's just such a robust team with different perspectives that I think that's where we catch those little things that end up making a big difference.\" Several board members noted the drafts are posted on the district website and that the 2026–27 drafts remain labeled as \"draft\" until formally approved next year.

No vote was taken; the calendars will return for future board action.

The district posted the draft calendars on ISD623.org and will continue to solicit feedback as the board moves toward a final vote.","At its Feb. 10 meeting the Roseville Area School Board received first readings of draft traditional and year‑round calendars for 2025–26 and 2026–27. The calendar committee relied on a holiday rubric and staff attendance data to minimize disruptions; no final action was taken.","actionData","errors"]
