Board weighs social-media limits and device use for staff, asks for clearer ARs
Summary
Trustees agreed staff may use personal devices for approved district business but asked for stronger social-media safeguards—particularly prohibiting posting images of students or facilities on personal accounts without written authorization.
Board members reviewed GCAB language on staff personal devices and social media. Trustees supported continued use of phones for district business (ParentSquare, virtual phone numbers) but sought clearer restrictions on posting student images on personal accounts without written authorization.
"Staff may not post images of district facilities, staff, students, volunteers, or parents without written authorization," the Chair read from the draft and members asked for administrative clarification on who grants releases and how opt-outs from parent permissions are verified. Staff said they would reorganize the paragraph to make the restriction and the authorization process more prominent and ensure employees receive the policy text at orientation. The board also discussed training at the start of each year to highlight posting permissions and privacy concerns.
