Board sets up a task force on student screen time

What happened

The board began a discussion of student screen time at its April 21, 2026 work session. On August 4, 2026 a task force for screen time was brought back to the board as an information item.

Why it matters to families

Screen time rules decide how much of the school day students spend on a device and when a phone or laptop is allowed out. A task force is the step before rules change, so this is where families can still say what they think.

The evidence

The board's published meeting index lists "Begin Discussion on Student Screen Time" as the sole work session item on April 21, 2026, and "Task Force for Screentime" among the information items on August 4, 2026. The index gives item titles only; it does not record what the task force recommended or whether any rule has changed.
