Board takes first readings of building-temperature limit and student device policies
Summary
On first reading, the board reviewed a maximum-temperature policy for school buildings and a newly required internet-enabled device policy (cell phone rules) aligned with recent education-law changes; staff and students will provide feedback before final adoption.
The board held first readings of two policies: a maximum interior temperature standard for district facilities and a policy governing internet-enabled devices during the school day.
Policy committee member (speaker 5) said the maximum-temperature policy uses an 82°F threshold and recommends language for removing children at 88°F; changes are based on education law. On the device policy, the committee followed statutory language to permit the superintendent and administrators to adopt procedures. Superintendent Dr. Wicoff (speaker 6) said the administration has shared a draft with staff and students and will continue to collect feedback before returning for second reading and possible adoption.
