Committee flags broadcasting/recording policy as outdated, tables rewrite
Summary
Members said the district's broadcasting and recording policy is dated and unclear about expectations for recordings in public vs. private spaces and on social media; the item was tabled for further research and possible integration with tech/acceptable‑use policies.
Members raised concerns that the district's existing broadcasting and recording policy predates contemporary phone and social‑media usage and therefore reads as outdated.
David argued the document should be reframed around privacy expectations and disruption of the learning environment rather than older device language. "The policy is not appropriate for how we use that technology today," David said, urging an approach that focuses on whether a recording violates a reasonable expectation of privacy or disrupts instruction. Erica noted the intent appears to be prohibiting recordings made to harass, bully or embarrass another person and suggested staff examine whether the subject belongs embedded in a tech acceptable‑use policy or as a standalone policy.
Outcome: The committee agreed to table the item and asked staff to review other districts' approaches and CABE or counsel guidance, then return recommended revisions at a subsequent meeting.
