USD 286 superintendent reports on device rules after legislature; resident urges retention of FACS course
Summary
Superintendent Jamie Wetig told the board of a legislative move toward 'bell to bell' student device restrictions and of current ParentSquare communications; resident Linda Fadley urged the board to continue offering FACS classes in the district during public forum.
Superintendent Jamie Wetig briefed the board April 13 on an education‑related legislative update and district communications, and a resident addressed the board during public forum about Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS).
Wetig said a legislative change was reported regarding student personal devices, describing a move toward students being without devices "bell to bell" during the school day. He said the district needs to discuss options for storing devices and noted the district uses ParentSquare for staff‑to‑family communications. Wetig also presented results from an ADA staff survey and curriculum planning updates for the elementary level, including adding handwriting to the curriculum.
During the public forum resident Linda Fadley urged the board to continue offering FACS classes, stressing the subject's importance to students. The board thanked her for raising the concern; no formal motion or action on FACS was recorded in the minutes.
