Superintendent Jen said the draft policy would prohibit student use of personal electronic devices—from the start to the end of regular instructional hours—unless an exemption applies. \"When can they be used?\" she asked rhetorically and then outlined three exemption paths in the draft: a medical provider’s order for care, accommodations tied to a student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a Section 504 plan under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and a written administrative exemption request that the district is still defining. The administrative rule establishing the exemption process is under development; the superintendent said administrators will respond to exemption requests within 30 days once procedures are finalized.

The policy draft allows students to keep devices in lockers, backpacks or on their person but not to use them during instructional time. Teachers may authorize limited, instructional use during class (for example, a 20-minute activity) and then require devices be put away. The superintendent said the district considered but is not pursuing an expensive device-management infrastructure because the low-cost options the district explored would require nearly a $100,000–$200,000 investment that the district does not have.

Disciplinary responses for violations will be progressive, the superintendent said, and guardians may contact schools via the office for urgent communications during the day; that process will remain unchanged. The draft timeline calls for the board to adopt the policy no later than Oct. 31 and for implementation to begin no later than Jan. 1, subject to state guidance changes.

District leaders said they will seek feedback from bargaining units (CEA and OSEA Chapter 124), staff newsletters, a Google form for caregivers and multiple student meetings, including student council and leadership groups at middle and high schools. Student representative Hannah said student pushback is expected but advised that explaining the why behind the policy will help. Board member Melanie and others said teachers and some buildings have already limited phone use and reported increased student social interaction and classroom engagement in districts that have restricted phones.

Administrators acknowledged implementation complexities, particularly around exceptions for medical needs and protecting student privacy. The superintendent said staff will emphasize education and peer-to-peer understanding so students do not single out classmates with exemptions.

The board did not adopt the policy at the meeting; the item was a first reading and the district plans further stakeholder input before a final vote.","Board received the first reading of Policy JFCEB, which would prohibit personal electronic device use during instructional hours unless exempted; the district plans outreach to students, staff and unions before a planned final adoption in October and implementation by Jan. 1.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6475827,"Central SD 13J reviews school safety protocols, reunification steps and reporting tools",1191,0,1191000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5732011-f730bb14eba93242489b6613997761f9&start=0&end=1191","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5732011-f730bb14eba93242489b6613997761f9/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6475827/Oregon/Central-SD-13J-reviews-school-safety-protocols-reunification-steps-and-reporting-tools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475827-2e30df3c160e540cd59528824e60abc5/orig.mp4?Expires=1773617274&Signature=Uws8fyaoKEsXjyDEr9xVtSUe8WvBIuQA5hJM4Lae4VOIkNmConbbX~Ql7pty7PKpekHHcoVsqRA2DV5-OpUFZhe7m8ueC-AbSafTGTSdChfVEvUwsZ3WBhAEGmwr7LRjolPlEVC02PHzjyBlPhgjzPD8aew-ZCtCr4KyyF9ZKHKxvImatElMJDdWrIyJH4ap-AMJKZ8x4bhdjCQoAy0UbnvN-vugcDLODcCgvIEsBN18xfO6mVLyFYw0VQRSWfH2rJCIKpma0RCJ7pm9e3DpYTqfzHND4AV1vPdwjCt~pJV2E5lnG~86gebvpCxQmLJ7opxp0KEGvdAZ6o6JHyYJ8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Central SD 13J district staff reviewed school safety and emergency procedures at a board meeting, urging families to check emergency contacts and describing district steps to improve identification, controlled entry, on-campus communications and reporting pathways.

District administrators said families should maintain two to five emergency contacts for students and update phone numbers, because those contacts are used during emergencies. Administrators described four district safety expectations in active use: staff and visitor identification badges, locked perimeter doors, radios for rapid campus communication and organized drop-off and pickup procedures.

Superintendent Jen (first name used in meeting) and district administrators said some campuses still face challenges with locking all perimeter doors because of multiple entry points; one high school has concentrated entry through a single west entrance and staff circulation to monitor it. Staff noted occasional instances of propped doors and said students sometimes help remove objects used to prop doors open.

Staff described emergency-action outlines for extracurricular events that are laminated and kept near AEDs and other key locations to guide response outside regular school hours. District leaders also described a debrief process after incidents, involving school administrators, district staff, first responders and, depending on the event, parent input. \"A debriefing, any time we have an incident like that, it really is\" a chance to examine who was involved and why, administrators said during the meeting.

The district highlighted two reporting and support programs. Handle With Care notifies schools when first responders have responded to a student’s home incident so building staff can provide short-term support; Polk County Fire and Rescue and local police departments participate. The SafeOregon tip line, supported by the Oregon Department of Education and state police, collects anonymous tips about bullying, threats, drugs or unsafe behavior into a database the district can use to follow up. District staff said the tip line yielded about two dozen submissions last year and that some reports prompted follow-up that would not have occurred otherwise.

Administrators said they are reviewing signage and low-resource options—for example, placing sandwich-board placards close to entrances so they remain available if staff are short-handed—and training staff and students in situational awareness. They reiterated that during lockdowns the public will be told not to come to buildings: \"We'll be very clear about please stay away from the buildings. Don't come to the buildings,\" the superintendent said.

The presentation concluded with a call for continued communication between schools, families and first responders, and with an invitation for parents to attend open houses or registration events where safety protocols and resources can be explained in more detail.

The board did not take formal action tied to these safety items during the meeting; the discussion served as an informational update and as preparation for ongoing training, debriefs and parent outreach.","District leaders reviewed reunification procedures, staff identification, perimeter locking, radio communications, drop-off/pickup safety, the Handle With Care notification program and the SafeOregon tip line during a board meeting update.","actionData","errors"]
