Board previews device and AI policies, approves consent items and authorizes superintendent negotiations
Summary
The board reviewed first‑read policies on banning personal internet‑enabled devices and on acceptable use of generative AI, approved multiple consent agenda items including personnel and capital projects, and authorized the board president to negotiate with Alexandria’s board on a potential shared superintendent arrangement.
Board discussion in June covered several policy and action items. On policy, the board’s policy committee reviewed a required district policy to ban personal internet‑enabled devices, noting the state has not yet issued detailed guidance; committee members said families will be required to acknowledge the policy and that consequences for noncompliance are still being developed. The committee also reviewed an acceptable‑use policy for generative artificial intelligence; administrators emphasized the need to avoid submitting personally identifiable student data to third‑party AI tools and said the policy will require an annually reviewed AI plan.
Administration also reported routine district highlights and multiple facilities projects, and presented procurement items and personnel approvals as part of the consent agenda. The operations committee described capital projects including stormwater work, dugout replacements, sound system upgrades, and a MacBook device transition. The record includes discussion of bus replacements and bid comparisons; the transcript records two different cost figures in the excerpt (a cited total of $55,725 in one passage and a per‑bus figure of $168,585 in another), which administration will need to clarify in the official minutes.
On motions, the board moved and adopted multiple grouped consent items (various numbered agenda blocks) by roll call; the excerpt records 'Yes' votes as the motion passed but does not provide a complete, consistently transcribed vote tally for every consent line in the excerpt. The board also approved personnel items and introduced George Caberniti as the new buildings and grounds employee.
In new business the board approved a motion authorizing the Delaware Valley board president to negotiate with the Alexandria board president on a potential shared superintendent/shared services arrangement; a roll call vote followed and the motion carried as read in the excerpt.
The meeting closed with the board indicating it would move to executive session and that it might take action afterward.
