The North Harrison board approved a late agenda item to adopt student handbooks for North Harrison Elementary, Morgan Elementary, North Harrison Middle School and North Harrison High School.
Staff described the handbooks as the place where the district will provide clarity about expectations for students that mirror newly enacted state law on electronic devices. "The new state law... the board will be adopting that policy, which will mirror the law," a staff member said, adding that a parent flyer explaining the changes would be distributed early next week.
Board members voted by voice with no opposition to adopt the handbooks at the meeting. The handbooks include updated cell-phone guidance and will be the district's primary operating documents for clarifying daily expectations for students and staff.
The transcript does not provide the full handbook text or a date for final distribution beyond the staff comment about a flyer coming next week.
