Board told JCDA progressive-discipline policy will be updated after Senate Bill 351; Internet-use rule to return for review
Summary
At the meeting the board received a first-read overview of the JCDA progressive-discipline policy; staff said Senate Bill 351 requires changes to the district’s Internet acceptable use policy and that a draft will be presented in August and returned for final read in October.
At a Gainesville City School Board meeting officials provided a first read of the JCDA progressive-discipline procedures and told the board a separate revision to the district’s Internet acceptable use policy will be needed to comply with recently passed state legislation.
A staff presenter said the JCDA language itself has not changed for the first read but that Senate Bill 351 will require changes to the Internet acceptable use policy and related regulation. The presenter said staff member Eddie Nimick and his team are drafting the revised Internet-acceptable-use policy and that the district plans to bring the draft to the board as a first read in August and for a final read in late October to meet Georgia Department of Education timelines.
The presenter framed the item as an informational first read and indicated the JCDA code of conduct and related procedures will be brought back to the board for revision once the Internet-use policy language is finalized. Board members asked no clarifying policy questions in the transcript excerpt and no formal vote on the JCDA policy occurred during this meeting.
Ending: Staff committed to return with a draft Internet acceptable use policy and any related revisions to JCDA on the timeline described; no formal board action was recorded in the transcript.
