DISCUSSION 

Communications Policies
Director of Community Relations Natasha Beery said that the request is to have a discussion to move forward with exploring Facebook and other forms of social media. The existing media policy outlines how outside folks can access pictures. We need to establish how we deal with media internally. Participants discussed language for BP/AR 1113 (District and School Websites) and also talked about what constitutes a “group” v “individual” photo.

Student directors will be invited to the next policy committee meeting to provide their input on these policies.

BP/AR 1114 (District Sponsored Social Media)

There is concern that a District sponsored social media account will become a platform for unlimited forum. Participants discussed creating a separate policy specifically about PTA websites which are neither district sponsored or non district sponsored. 

Participants agreed to convene discussion with PTA council.

ACTION

Expulsion AR 5144.3
Alper said that this draft is ready to be shared with the Board for comments. Participants reviewed language.
