Board schedules future discussions on AI in classrooms, cellphone rules and student engagement
Summary
The board placed three topics—AI-supported education, cell phones at school, and student engagement—on future agendas and asked staff to gather research and data to frame the discussions.
The RSU 35/MSAD 35 board told staff it will schedule in-depth discussions on three topics identified by trustees: AI-supported education, cell-phone policies in schools and student engagement strategies.
The Chair said the three topics were suggested for upcoming meetings and asked staff to gather research and current-practice information so the board could evaluate options. On cell phones, a trustee asked whether the discussion should focus on current district practice, prevailing trends, or a broad policy conversation; the Chair said all three perspectives would be useful and that current practice should form the foundation for discussion.
Why it matters: trustees said these topics affect classroom practice, student well-being and consistency of rules across grade levels. Board members requested that research and any available data be placed on the agenda to support deliberation.
No policy decisions were made at the meeting; the items were placed on a future agenda for discussion and research.
