Committee sends revised social‑media policy to school board after attorney edits
Summary
A proposed social-media policy (Policy 599) was approved by the policy committee to be forwarded to the school board following edits recommended by district attorneys to align with First Amendment case law.
The policy committee approved sending a revised social‑media policy (proposed Policy 599) to the school board after district attorneys reviewed and suggested edits to address First Amendment considerations. The policy had been tabled previously to allow legal review; attorneys recommended removing or modifying several paragraphs to align the draft with established First Amendment case law. District staff and the policy presenter reviewed those red-line edits and said they matched the original intent while reducing legal risk. Committee members expressed appreciation for the legal review and approved forwarding the policy to the full school board. The committee recorded the motion to send Policy 599 to the board; staff said the attorneys’ edits were incorporated in the redline shared in the meeting packet.
