Board approves student handbooks; handbooks to reflect new state electronic-device law
Summary
The board approved student handbooks for all four buildings and staff said the handbooks will include updated cell-phone/electronic-device expectations mirroring recently passed state law; a parent flyer will be released next week, and the move was approved as a late agenda item.
The North Harrison board approved a late agenda item to adopt student handbooks for North Harrison Elementary, Morgan Elementary, North Harrison Middle School and North Harrison High School.
Staff described the handbooks as the place where the district will provide clarity about expectations for students that mirror newly enacted state law on electronic devices. "The new state law... the board will be adopting that policy, which will mirror the law," a staff member said, adding that a parent flyer explaining the changes would be distributed early next week.
Board members voted by voice with no opposition to adopt the handbooks at the meeting. The handbooks include updated cell-phone guidance and will be the district's primary operating documents for clarifying daily expectations for students and staff.
The transcript does not provide the full handbook text or a date for final distribution beyond the staff comment about a flyer coming next week.
