Board flagged IFBG internet acceptable-use revision for vote after executive session; compliance with OCGA 22-3-24 noted
Summary
Administrators presented an IFBG internet acceptable-use revision tied to compliance with OCGA 22-3-24 and recommended adoption of GSBA-reviewed language; the board indicated it would vote after executive session and personnel actions.
Board staff presented a proposed revision to policy IFBG (internet acceptable use) and said adoption was necessary to comply with state law. The chair said the revision must be completed by April 1, 2026, citing OCGA 22-3-24, and staff recommended adopting the GSBA-reviewed and approved revisions. Mr. St. Clair summarized the policy change as adding a social-media component from the Protecting Georgia's Children on Social Media Act and said it restricts student access to social media on district-provided devices unless specifically approved by school personnel for age-appropriate instructional use.
The chair explained the board would vote on the revision after returning from executive session; the transcript shows a motion to approve the IFBG revision was made but the board paused to vote on personnel first. The transcript does not record a final roll-call or outcomes for the IFBG action in the portion provided, so the policy’s formal adoption status is not specified here.
