Policy committee favors making staff tech acceptable-use an administrative procedure
Summary
Members agreed the district's staff technology and social-media policy reads like procedure and directed administration to separate a signable staff agreement from policy so the district can update it faster as technology evolves.
The committee reviewed GBEF (staff technology acceptable use and social media) and compared the district's more detailed language with the NHSBA sample, which members said was older and less developed. Several members said the district's text functions as a staff agreement rather than a high-level policy and suggested administration create a separate procedural agreement that staff would sign, allowing quicker updates as technology and AI evolve.
"Technology frequently outpaces the school board," one committee member said, arguing that a procedure or signed agreement gives administration agility while keeping policy at a higher level. Adam agreed to take the lead on separating procedure from policy and work with IT on an implementation plan; the committee did not take a vote on adoption but instructed staff to proceed with drafting the administrative procedure.
