Background
|
Per interest expressed by the Board of Education, The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) has spent time this year reviewing cell phone/cell device policies. The goal of the policy exploration was to develop a plan that would create a learning environment with fewer distractions for students and staff, while still providing the flexibility and responsibility of cell phone possession where appropriate. At the April Board of Education Meeting, the study and engagement process was reviewed, along with the feedback from CAC. Based on that feedback, the administrative team has continued to work on a revised set of expectations. The expectations outlined in the document presented to the Board do align with expectations in recent legislation that has passed the Senate, and is being moved through the House, and balance the interests expressed by our stakeholder groups.
