Board adopts mobile-device policy and waives second reading
Summary
Trustees voted to adopt a new district policy restricting student use of mobile communication devices, waiving the second reading after staff said it was ready and sites had already been enforcing similar rules.
The board adopted a new policy addressing mobile communication devices in district schools and waived the second reading after staff told trustees the policy had already been crafted and implemented consistently at site level.
Dr. DeGrazia outlined the policy as one that would restrict cell-phone use except where specifically allowed in enumerated circumstances and noted elementary and middle schools had already enforced the approach. When asked whether staff felt the policy was ready to adopt, administrators replied they were prepared to proceed. The board voted by voice to waive the second reading and approve the policy.
