Board asks staff to return with revised personal electronic device policy for K–12
Summary
Directors discussed revisions to Policy JFCEB to differentiate grade-level rules for personal devices; Chair Campbell asked staff to bring back language proposing K–8 restrictions and limited high school use during meal times.
Board members discussed proposed changes to Policy JFCEB (Personal Electronic Devices), with the central question being how to differentiate device rules by grade level. Chair Michael Campbell asked staff to return in December with language that would prohibit phones for K–8 students and allow high school students to carry devices but restrict classroom use, permitting limited use during meal times.
Superintendent Brent Barry suggested the policy reflect current procedures. Directors did not vote on policy changes at the Nov. 13 meeting; members asked staff to draft clear grade-based language for the board to consider in December.
No formal exemptions or appeal forms were adopted at this meeting; the board indicated a desire to align policy and administrative procedures before a future vote.
