RSU 18 board adopts cell-phone policy after second reading, administration to write procedures
Summary
After a second reading and discussion about implementation burdens on staff, the RSU 18 board adopted policy JICJ (cell-phone restrictions) and directed administrators to develop procedures and supports for consistent implementation.
The board adopted policy JICJ (cellular devices) at second reading after members reviewed edits and discussed how administrators would implement the policy at the building level. Nanette Pendleton (education-association leader) and Annette Denelson (teacher and union contact) urged staff input and consistency among schools.
The superintendent said procedural details will be developed with building administrators and leadership teams, and the board requested monthly feedback on incidents and implementation after the policy takes effect. The chair called the question and the board voted to adopt the policy as presented; the chair announced, "Motion carries."
