Parent urges clarity on student phone/texting policy during public comment
Summary
Kirsten Kimbrell told trustees she has received more texts from her daughter during school hours and asked the board to clarify district phone policy so parents understand expectations during the school day.
During the public-comment portion, Kirsten Kimbrell said she has been getting more texts from her daughter during school hours and asked whether the board could clarify the district's phone policy so parents and teachers know how phones are to be used.
"I've been getting a lot more texts from my daughter during school hours...I don't fully know what policy is, so I need to educate myself on that," Kimbrell said. The chair responded that speakers normally sign up in advance for public comment and noted the board will take input and direct staff as needed.
Kimbrell offered her remarks as information for the board to consider rather than asking for an immediate action; trustees acknowledged the comment and did not take immediate action beyond noting the suggestion for staff review and potential clarification.
