Board adds Quincy High School cell-phone policy to future agenda after member cites middle-school results
Summary
A board member asked the board to consider changing Quincy High School’s cell-phone policy based on perceived successes at the middle school; the board added the item to future topics for review rather than taking immediate action.
A board member asked the Quincy School District Board of Directors to consider whether Quincy High School should adopt a cell-phone policy similar to one the member said had succeeded at the district middle school. The member said parents, teachers and some students reported a reduction in bullying after the middle-school policy was implemented and asked that the high-school policy be re-examined.
Board leadership instructed staff to add the proposal to the board’s list of future topics so it can be scheduled for full discussion at a later meeting; the item was entered into the meeting notes during the “board requests for future topics” portion of the agenda. No formal policy change or vote occurred at the meeting.
The transcript does not include a draft policy, a recommended policy text, a staff report with data, or a public-comment presentation tied to the request. The board member asked that the item be placed on a future agenda so the board can review it formally during a subsequent meeting.
