Board gives first reading to revised electronic-device policy; questions remain on lunch and classroom exceptions
Summary
Board members asked whether cell-phone use at lunch or for academic exceptions would be allowed and whether the draft aligns with OSBA sample policy; staff said the policy will go to second reading on Oct. 16.
During the meeting's policy packet first reading, Chair Kendell Ferguson directed the Board to the revised electronic-device policy. Directors asked whether students would be permitted to use cell phones during lunch, whether classroom academic exceptions would be included, and whether the district's draft aligns with the Oregon School Boards Association sample policy.
Staff responded to those questions and said the policies will advance to a second reading and possible adoption at the Oct. 16 Board meeting. No vote was taken on the policy during the work session.
