Board hears initial findings on cell-phone policy as public raises emergency-safety concerns
Summary
Superintendent Marie Digirolamo told trustees a committee is collecting data to develop a cell-phone use policy; during public comment a resident raised concerns about cell phones and safety in emergencies.
The Board received an update from Superintendent Marie Digirolamo that a committee is investigating the "safe and responsible use of cell phones in schools." Digirolamo said the committee will provide data to the Policy Committee to guide policy development; the Policy Committee had previously signaled additional information would be provided on this topic.
During the public-comment period one community member raised concerns about cell phones and safety in an emergency. The minutes record the concern but do not show a formal policy vote or an immediate directive to staff; the Policy Committee and Superintendent were recorded as the next steps for gathering data and drafting language.
