Board reconciles discrepancy in personal electronic device administrative regulation
Summary
Board members flagged inconsistent timing language in the personal electronic device administrative regulation (one section 10 days, another 12 days); staff agreed to make both references 12 days and proceed with adoption to meet the board's deadline.
Board members reviewed proposed policy updates including the personal electronic device policy and its administrative regulation. A discrepancy appeared between two sections: one referenced a 12-school-day response timeline while another allowed 10 days for communication to parents.
A board member noted the difference and asked for consistency. The superintendent and staff confirmed the intent: "School administration will respond to such a request within 12 school days," and the board directed staff to change the AR to match 12 days in both places so the policy and AR align. The board noted they must have an adopted policy by the 31st and indicated they would approve the second readings with the clerical fix.
No separate motion was required beyond approval of the consent agenda and the clerical correction to ensure the AR and policy matched the 12-day timeline.
