Board adopts district policies, internet-device policy and authorizes ROC for data-privacy contracts
Summary
The board adopted a consolidated set of district policies (citing Education Law 1709), approved a policy restricting internet-enabled devices during the school day, and authorized the Regional Operations Center to negotiate data-privacy agreements with vendors on the district's behalf.
The Holland Central School District Board of Education adopted a set of district-wide policies and a specific policy limiting the use of internet-enabled devices during school hours.
The policy adoptions were presented as a single set of replacements intended to supersede prior policies. The board cited authority under Education Law and reserved the right to amend or revoke policies in the future. Regarding internet-enabled devices, board discussion noted that parent notification and other provisions had been added and that the district's language aligns with state guidance. The board then approved a resolution authorizing the Regional Operations Center (ROC) to negotiate data-privacy agreements with third-party vendors and contractors on the district's behalf; the resolution passed unanimously.
Board members described the policy set as a housekeeping and modernization step and stressed that the board retains the authority to amend policies as needed.
