Board reviews second reading of staff conduct, contract and social media policy changes
Summary
Board members heard a second reading of recommended policy changes about staff conduct and dress, teacher contract timing and social media guidance, including a ban on private staff-to-student direct messages except for approved school purposes.
The board heard a second reading of several personnel-related policy changes, with the presenter describing edits to staff conduct, professional contracts and social media guidance.
According to the presenter, "Personnel, individuals should dress in comfortable yet appropriate clothing for school," and the policy language aims to ensure staff dress communicates pride in their work while allowing flexibility for field days and other special events. The presenter also noted a policy change that teacher contracts would be awarded on or before May 1.
On social media, the presenter said staff should consult supervisors about appropriate uses and that "No private messages, text, emails, or Instagram should be sent directly from a staff member to a student except for the communication that's clearly related to a district approved school or extra curricular purpose." The presenter said staff should contact the superintendent or designee for additional guidance.
Board members did not record substantive questions in the supplied segments; the policy committee chair's recommendation moved forward as a second reading.
