IX.O. Discussion and Possible Action on Local Policy Update Affecting Policy FNCE (LOCAL) (Student Conduct / Personal Communication Devices) Presenter: Dr. Mark Olivarez and Elsa Morris Description: Background/Rationale: Administration recommends updating local policy FNCE in compliance with state legislative mandates restricting student use of personal electronic devices on school property during the instructional day. The updated policy establishes clear definitions, storage requirements, and progressive disciplinary consequences for non-compliance. The district had previously brought a resolution but had not brought the policy for board approval.
