Superintendent Scott L. Huard presented findings from a recent parent survey and said the district is preparing a wireless communication device policy to comply with Michigan School Code MCL 380.1303a, which requires local districts to prohibit student device use during instructional time beginning in the 2026–2027 school year. The presentation was informational; the board did not take formal action at this meeting.
Huard told the board the parent survey was conducted to gather feedback to inform the district’s required policy development. He framed the policy as an implementation item tied to state law rather than an optional local initiative and indicated administration will return with proposed language and recommended procedures in a future meeting.
