Board asks for clearer staff social‑media rules, questions parity with student restrictions
Summary
Directors debated staff use of personal devices and social media; Director Alex Cabalona asked why staff may be allowed uses students cannot, and counsel was asked to draft clearer posting‑permission language for staff guidance.
The board reviewed GCAB regarding personal electronic devices and staff social‑media use. Director Alex Cabalona asked, "why are we letting teachers using if the students aren’t allowed to," prompting discussion about staff communications with students and families and how postings would be monitored and permitted.
Leslie Fisher said she would clarify the policy language and create guidance about posting that requires permission; Director Mark Simonsen recommended emphasizing the policy at staff orientation and outlining the permission and monitoring process. The board directed counsel to provide revised language for further review.
