Saint Bernard Parish School Board adopts JCDAE revision, adds "smart glasses" language
Summary
The Saint Bernard Parish School Board voted 8-0 to adopt a revision to school board policy JCDAE that adds the term "smart glasses" (the board characterized it as an overall term for "meta glasses").
The Saint Bernard Parish School Board adopted a revision to policy JCDAE on Feb. 18, 2025, adding the term "smart glasses" to the policy language.
The change was introduced by a staff member, Mr. Morales, who told members the revision was the same as the version presented at the prior meeting except for the addition. "I did add smart glasses. That was the overall term for meta glasses," Mr. Morales said. Board member Joseph Long moved to adopt the policy; the motion passed 8-0.
The board clerk recorded the vote as unanimous with eight members present. The transcript does not specify any amendments to the text beyond the added term. The board discussed the revision as part of the consent/regular agenda and took a single roll-call vote to adopt the policy.
The adopted language replaces or supplements prior technology-related references in JCDAE with a broader device term; the board did not read the full revised text aloud during the meeting and no further implementation steps or enforcement details were provided at the meeting.
The revision was presented during the agenda item for policy adoption and follows the board’s prior review at a committee meeting, according to staff remarks during the session. No public comment on the policy was recorded.
Looking ahead, the board will include the revised JCDAE in its official policy manual; the meeting record shows the motion to adopt and the unanimous vote but does not set an effective date in the public remarks.
