The Christina School District's Board of Education Policy Committee convened on September 2, 2025, to discuss several key topics, including updates on student dress codes and cell phone policies.

During the meeting, committee members highlighted the effective work of McKinney Vento liaisons in supporting families, ensuring that issues related to student needs are addressed. The discussion then shifted to the student dress code, where it was noted that the current language in the student manual may require revisions. Committee members expressed a desire to streamline the dress code language for clarity and consistency across schools. It was agreed that proposed changes would be prepared for the 2026-2027 student manual, allowing ample time for review and input from the committee.

The meeting also covered the ongoing development of a new cell phone policy. Dr. Gina Moody reported that surveys would be distributed to staff and families to gather feedback on the draft policy. The committee aims to finalize the policy by October, with a timeline set to ensure it is ready before the New Year. Additionally, the committee is monitoring the progress of Senate Bill 106, which may impact the policy's implementation.

Overall, the meeting underscored the committee's commitment to refining school policies to better serve students and families, with a focus on collaboration and community input. The next steps will involve reviewing feedback from the surveys and preparing for further discussions in upcoming meetings.
