• Policy Updates: The board reviewed numerous policy updates, including revisions related to cell phone usage, student conduct (including guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence in the classroom), and a new policy specifically addressing artificial intelligence.
• Cell Phone Policy: The board discussed the district's revised cell phone policy, which aims to limit classroom distractions while also teaching students responsible technology usage.
