Summary

Kevin Keegan told the board to finish a cell-phone policy for high schools, move from AI task-force discussion to pilot policies, prioritize student test-score approvals, and create a 'fire rebuild school permit' to keep Palisades fire–displaced students enrolled without inter-district permit burdens.

Kevin Keegan, participating online, asked the board to accelerate a high-school cell-phone policy and to move from an AI task force toward pilot testing and new policies. "The AI task force and an occasional presentation are fine, but AI pilot test and new policies are better," he said.

Keegan also urged the district to approve student test scores promptly and proposed a special "fire rebuild school permit" for families displaced by the Palisades fire so children can remain enrolled in their schools without securing permits from other districts. He said many Malibu families remain committed to the district despite displacement and called the permit a "common sense policy" targeted to help impacted families.
