The board approved on second reading a new policy on acceptable use of district technology resources and heard a first reading of an updated policy covering the board’s vision, mission and values.

Mister Kelper (policy staff) reviewed the acceptable‑use policy, which staff said now explicitly applies to students, employees and all authorized users of district technology and adds guidance addressing the use of artificial‑intelligence tools. Director of Technology Mister Heim (spelled in transcript Haim) confirmed the policy’s core language remained largely unchanged while the new material added guidance on AI use for students and staff.

Trustee Janice Marshall asked whether staff had circulated the draft to employees; the presenter said the policy originated with technology staff and the governance committee and that it did not change staff obligations for appropriate use but did add clarifying language. The board voted in favor of the acceptable‑use policy on second reading by voice vote.

On the first reading of policy 1,012 (vision, mission, values), staff said the update corrects an oversight in the board’s 1,000‑series policies and the board approved the first reading to continue the policy update process.

Ending
Both policy items will proceed per the board’s policy‑adoption schedule; the acceptable‑use policy was adopted on second reading and the vision/mission update will return for second reading in a subsequent meeting.
