  • Approve changes to Policy 9006: Use of Electronic Devices:  Discussed our old district-wide policy which was punitive in nature and old NOHS policy from years past.  This new policy proposed is in anticipation of a normal year as opposed to Covid restrictions from last year.  Mr. Sullivan provided input as to realistic enforcement of cell phone usage between periods.  Ms. Wollert provided input as to the policy and how it would affect teachers and  students as well.  After much discussion amongst our teacher representatives, version B was preferred under section C.  Exceptions for classrooms to use phones for special projects would be approved through Administration on a case by case basis with the use of the formerly used Yellow Sheet/Form.  Discussion also centered around watches as well and that this policy would be applied to watches as well.  Option B was unanimously approved under Section C “Usage”.  Discussion was opened for policy changes under Section D “Consequences”.  There was a lot of discussion about consequences of first offenses.  Council members that were  present suggested that first offenses be handled by the teacher in the classroom in order to set the expectation and build a better relationship with students.  Suggestion was made that at the first offense the teacher  would keep the phone / device until the end of the period  and give feedback at the end of class to the student as well as send an email to the parent(s).  The second offense phone is kept until the end of the day and a phone call by teacher to parent will occur (administrator to pick up and phone remains in office unt the end of the day).  Third offense, the administrator calls the parent and the student can pick up the phone at the end of the day.  The offenses are accumulated per teacher and not across all teachers.  Each teacher will track their own classroom violations.  Policy was approved as corrected by consensus.

Vapes/Tobacco 1st violation where student would only be in violation for the current sport (percentage) they are participating in, not ALL.  

10 hours community service will be no team activities of any kind until community service is completed. Can not compete until 10% of games are missed.

Vapes/Tobacco 2nd Violation: Changed the last sentence “The student-athlete must complete the course by the start of the next school year” to word it so that the athletic director would have to verify the student athlete actually completed the course.

20 hours community service - no team activities of any kind.  Can not compete until 20% of total season’s games are missed.

Read OC’s policy as it is worded well and would like to emulate.
