John (board) said SAC co‑leads Akira and Jay requested topic ideas for the conference and that the committee would value board input. The meeting participants suggested cell‑phone policy, grading, student belonging and safety, and ways board members can meaningfully engage with students.

Board members offered to rotate attendance so multiple directors could meet SAC delegates during the one‑day event. Several members said attending a breakout session or meeting students informally during the conference would build cohesion between the board and SAC.

The group also used the discussion to confirm other calendar logistics: site visits were scheduled or being rescheduled (Prune Hill, Sky Ridge and Grass Valley on March 4; a makeup set for March 19 with Dorothy Fox, Hays and Liberty), and the board discussed possible dates for an upcoming Day on the Hill trip to meet legislators. Two tentative dates for the Day on the Hill were discussed; staff will follow up to finalize meetings and travel timing.

Board members asked staff to send calendar invites for SAC and to ensure SAC members see policy proposals — for example, the CAC cell‑phone recommendation — before the conference so students can weigh in. Staff said SAC had been surveyed about the cell‑phone issue but had not yet reviewed full policy language; presenters encouraged sharing policy drafts with SAC if timing allows.

No formal action resulted. Staff will circulate calendar invitations and follow up on travel scheduling and site‑visit conflicts.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Camas School District - School Board Workshop - Feb 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Board members discussed Student Advisory Committee (SAC) conference topics, agreed the event is March 6 (9 a.m.–2 p.m.), and volunteered to rotate attendance.

Board members discussed a proposed revision on separation from employment and asked staff to confirm whether language applies to certificated staff, classified staff or both. Amy, a district staff member working on HR issues, said she would review the policy language and return with a recommendation.

On opioid overdose reversal policy (policy number cited in packet as 3424), a board member raised questions about whether students would be permitted to possess naloxone (Narcan), whether training would be required and whether the district should treat naloxone as an AED‑style emergency device. The board referred those technical and legal questions to Carol, a reviewer who had previously examined the policy, and asked staff to return with clarifying language.

The revised emergencies policy (language listed as 3432 in the packet) updates standard terminology to hold, secure, lockdown, evacuate and shelter. Board members asked about volunteer preparedness and whether volunteers receive consistent information. Staff said the district is upgrading its volunteer recruiting system to require an electronic acknowledgment that materials were read, and that a volunteer handbook and brief training are planned; staff noted they cannot compel volunteers to complete paid training.

The transportation policy update (6600) introduced a radius threshold described in the packet as a 0.7‑mile boundary for determining bus eligibility. Board members asked whether the district is funded to provide transportation at that radius and requested a transportation briefing that would include counts of students living inside the radius who currently receive service. Staff said they would ask Transportation Director Laura Sherman to provide a district update at a future workshop.

Other items briefly reviewed included staff vacations (policy 5411) and contracting for support services (policy 6690). Board members clarified that contracting language was intended for agreements such as outsourced daily transportation rather than routine athletic or extracurricular travel.

No formal votes were taken on these policies at the workshop; staff will incorporate the board’s questions and bring revised language and supporting information to the policy first reading.","At its Feb. 10 workshop the Camas board reviewed several policy updates—including separation from employment, opioid overdose reversal, emergencies, transportation and contracting—and asked staff for clarifications before first reading.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6689972,"CAC recommends balanced cell‑phone guidance, not an outright ban, to Camas board",682,2828000,3510000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2255885-e0fff59e1882ade944be405cc0ca9c94&start=2828&end=3510","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2255885-e0fff59e1882ade944be405cc0ca9c94/thumbnail_2828000.jpg","/articles/6689972/Washington/CAC-recommends-balanced-cellphone-guidance-not-an-outright-ban-to-Camas-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6689972-1620af37b69c8c2190a6c0b71af499f0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770846996&Signature=FtF1lMlzMdW~91XaTqymplnWrKHfcJujiekH~EJg6CxHF50RVmyngozG33vp5NEFTdJcVZo2hD4s1M761x03aLqe4zM6WN7kfN88Ad0yt60-qN3~M3e8qUo3NFFGxwNocnUhkfAzhfS22DA7thlT0Pw7lg8ZEEUt4qdrlNeN5XWY264ypxsMmM2zQ8h9ZaEK6LzlQaPnBxgOZ4ntxFX6ZY92TBhfHY0mBZrn7IhOuBTYRQZUAcIRlP~AK5TIG5ogZOE8uAE6y3O~85juT-GM1sGpxxhJ7LR8SAmksPb71O4LjicHVPONnv5xHeqfUcgdNtBUIw2-RlB1oaQpAO1sGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a Feb. 10 Camas School District workshop, members of a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) presented a unanimous recommendation on student cell‑phone use that favors age‑differentiated guidance and building‑level procedures instead of a districtwide ban.

Leanne and John, CAC members who led the committee’s four‑month review, told the board the group surveyed district stakeholders and sought input from district staff. The committee heard from Dr. Anzalone and Mr. Rourke, reviewed material from other districts and received written input from the assistant director of transportation. Doreen sent a high‑school student survey the committee used to assess student perspectives.

The committee reported that more than half of high‑school respondents said phones help their learning and classroom experience because they use them for learning, connection and sharing resources, and that many students want phones powered on. “By and large, students are following the devices as part of during instruction time,” a committee summary said.

Committee members said the science linking phones to anxiety or depression is still evolving and that an outright ban could create enforcement and disciplinary burdens for staff. The committee highlighted an approach used this fall at Camas High: teacher‑managed caddies in which students stow phones at classroom entry unless a teacher has explicitly allowed use. The committee described caddies as “very successful” at that site.

Leanne told the board the CAC considered a range of options and landed on guidance that can be adapted by level and supported by principals. “I’m happy to report last week that we had a unanimous vote,” Leanne said when presenting the committee’s recommendation.

The board and staff discussed next steps: the CAC’s recommendations will be shared with principals for feedback and then move through the policy review schedule. Several board members and administrators emphasized that procedure and building‑level supports — for example, clear expectations for appropriate use, parent communication and guidance about what counts as an emergency — will be important to implementation.

Board members commended the CAC’s outreach to students, parents and staff. One board member noted the value of hearing student perspectives directly, observing that student panels and no‑phone experiences on multi‑day trips often show increased interaction when phones are absent. The presenters said community education and resources for parents will be part of any rollout.

The board did not take a formal vote at the workshop; staff said they will bring revised verbiage and principal feedback back to the board as the policy moves forward.","After a four‑month review, a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) presented unanimous recommendations favoring age‑differentiated guidance and classroom “caddies” rather than a districtwide ban.

The update, delivered by co‑leads Jennifer McMillan and Amy Stewart, summarized work on curriculum alignment, measurement approaches and community outreach that the group says will support student belonging, emotion regulation, growth mindset and hope.

McMillan, identified as an SEL work‑group co‑lead for the district, opened by leading the board through an example “warm welcome” exercise she said the group uses to model classroom practice. She described curricular materials now in use at the secondary level — including the Wayfinder workbook at Hays and Discovery — and explained practical classroom tools such as the Yale‑created “mood meter” and the elementary “zones of regulation.” “SEL is for everyone,” McMillan said, adding that the tools help adults and students name feelings and “put words to what’s happening inside of us.”

The work group told the board it is using multiple data sources to track progress. McMillan described Panorama survey data, the district’s participation in the Healthy Youth Survey, and routine student voice collection such as senior exit interviews as ways the district will measure belonging and related outcomes. The group said curriculum tracking in Canvas and teacher reporting also inform implementation status.

McMillan also highlighted parent and staff programming: since 2018 the district has offered 115 parent‑caregiver wellness opportunities and, she said, “over 3,400 people have come to our parent wellness events.” She described staff supports that include an annual SEL professional learning day, book studies, a leadership lab and online learning modules available through employee benefits.

Amy Stewart, the other co‑lead, summarized challenges: the group has met only twice so far this year and faces constrained time and budget pressures. “We just need to throw gasoline on the SEL fires to keep it going,” Stewart said, urging continued resource support for the work.

Board members asked specifically how the district will evaluate impact. The presenters said that the work group will produce action plans tied to measurable goals; early measures will include presence of a sustainable curriculum in each building, Panorama indicators and qualitative data from student interviews. “Let kids tell you if it’s working,” McMillan said, noting the value of direct student and staff feedback alongside surveys.

The presenters left the board with curricular artifacts and a plan to return with more detailed action plans and measurable benchmarks. They asked the board to expect future progress reports that will identify implementation steps and specific measures of student impact.

The presentation concluded with an optimistic‑close exercise led by the work group and distribution of small visual reminders for board members to keep SEL priorities visible in their work.","At a Feb. 10 board workshop, the district's social and emotional learning work group described curriculum review, staff wellness initiatives, parent workshops and planned measures to track SEL progress across pre-K–12.","actionData","errors"]
