Board previews proposed student Code of Conduct updates, cites technology concerns
Summary
The CHSD 218 Board held a first reading of proposed student Code of Conduct changes for 2026–27, noting potential updates tied to state requirements and new technology (cellphones, smart watches and camera-enabled glasses); no vote was taken and the item will return in June.
The CHSD 218 Board on May 13 conducted a first reading of a proposed student Code of Conduct (rights and responsibilities) for the 2026–27 school year. Board members and staff framed the draft as a first reading only; no action was taken.
Board discussion focused on aligning district rules with possible state-level changes and on practical questions about technology in schools. A staff member said the proposed changes would address new issues such as cellphones, Apple Watches and glasses with built-in cameras and that the district is trying to "stay in line with what's going on at the state level." The board indicated it will review the draft again in June.
Because this was a first reading, the board did not vote on policy language or adopt any enforcement provisions at the May meeting.
