Superintendent briefs boards on cell-phone legislation and possible effects on district policy
Summary
Superintendent Jim Murray updated the Twin Rivers and Humboldt school boards about recent cell-phone legislation and discussed potential implications for district discipline and classroom management; the minutes do not specify legislative text or concrete policy changes.
Superintendent Jim Murray told the Twin Rivers Community School District and Humboldt Comm School District boards during a May 8 joint work session that recent cell-phone legislation could affect district policies and classroom management. The minutes record the briefing but do not provide the name, number or text of the bill.
Murray outlined potential impacts in general terms and discussed how the districts might need to align handbooks and enforcement practices with the law. The update was presented as informational; the boards did not propose or adopt changes during the session.
Board members and administrators had earlier discussed student-discipline trends at elementary, middle and high-school levels, a series of conversations Murray noted as relevant context for any policy adjustments tied to cell-phone rules.
The minutes do not specify next steps, deadlines or a responsible staff member to rewrite district policy. The record also lists the meeting date inconsistently: SEG 003 lists May 8, 2024, while the session text lists May 8, 2025; the minutes show the meeting convened at 6:00 p.m. and adjourned at 7:12 p.m.
