Board adopts revised electronic-device policy; middle-school parent pickup language removed
Summary
The trustees approved the third reading of Board Policy 3630 (electronic devices), removing a line that had required a parent to pick up confiscated devices at middle schools. The motion passed unanimously.
The Missoula Elementary School Board of Trustees voted unanimously to adopt a revised Board Policy 3630 on electronic devices, removing language that required a parent to retrieve confiscated devices at the middle school level. The change was approved as the policy’s third reading.
Superintendent Hill presented the revised policy and said the change corrects an omission affecting middle and high schools. Trustee Davies moved to adopt the revised policy; Trustee Wake seconded. There was no public comment and no further trustee discussion. The motion passed unanimously "to all trustees present," according to the meeting record.
The revision removes a provision that previously required parental pickup of confiscated devices at middle schools; the board packet included one emailed public comment but no additional testimony. The superintendent said the board began the policy update more than a year ago and the current language reflects the district’s final edits.
The board’s approval completes the policy’s third reading; trustees did not attach further amendments or implementation directions during the meeting.
The board took no other formal action on school discipline policy during the session.
