Board adopts electronic-devices policy after second reading
Summary
The Newburgh Board approved Policy 51-37 on electronic and personal devices on second reading at the July 31 special meeting.
The Newburgh Enlarged City School District Board of Education adopted Policy 51-37, governing personal and electronic devices, on second reading at its July 31 special meeting. Board President John Duray moved the resolution; the board voted in favor during roll call. The policy received discussion in committee prior to the board meeting, and the president said the measures had been reviewed in the policy committee earlier in the week. The board called the roll and recorded affirmative votes for adoption. No motions to amend the item were recorded during the public deliberations at the meeting. The adoption was presented as a consent motion with a second and passed by roll-call vote during the meeting. The policy will be entered into the board’s policy manual and becomes the district’s standing guidance on use of electronic devices in district spaces unless a subsequent action modifies it. Board members did not raise substantive legal objections on the record during the meeting; the item moved forward after committee review and a second reading.
