Committee outlines next steps on special education, stipends, academic‑honesty/AI and cell‑phone practice
Summary
Policy committee members flagged five special‑education policies for review, asked staff to follow up on stipend recommendations, noted an NHSBA academic‑honesty update incorporating AI guidance, and discussed classroom cell‑phone locker practices that may conflict with current policy JICJ.
The chair said she had identified five district policies that touch on special education and handed them to Mr. Rourke for review; she asked the special education department to assess which items require parental advisory input and to bring proposed changes forward over the coming months.
Committee members also discussed the stipends committee's presentation and the need to finalize stipend language and distribution before school starts, and noted that the NHSBA had updated its academic‑honesty policy to include AI guidance (the chair said Nashua’s earlier AI work informed that NHSBA update). Finally, members discussed classroom lockbox practice for student cell phones and flagged a potential conflict with the district's JICJ cell‑phone policy; the chair said a formal policy review would be required if lockbox practice becomes widespread.
