Summary

Administrators canvassed options for cloud-based camera storage, reviewed WIA guidance on student name/image/likeness, and debated middle-school music participation rules; board asked staff and music staff to return with recommendations and public feedback.

Several substantive policy topics were discussed but not decided.

Security cameras: administrators explained that the district’s current on-site server stores less than 30 days of footage and uses workarounds for legacy software; board members asked staff (including IT) to evaluate cloud-based vendors, retention limits, face‑obscuring/redaction tools and subscription costs and to report back to the committee-as-a-whole.

Name/image/likeness guidance: board members reviewed guidance reported from WIA indicating students may receive financial benefits from their name, image and likeness provided the activity does not promote the school; members expressed concern about potential year‑round athlete coaching contact and discussed whether the district should adopt more restrictive local rules.

Middle-school music: the board discussed making music participation required, allowing study hall or maker-space alternatives, and asked the music teacher (Miss Sambore) to present at the next meeting so members could better assess staffing, instrument availability and instructional impacts before acting.

No formal votes were taken on these topics; the board assigned staff to return with cost estimates, draft policy language or instructional implications as appropriate.
