Student board members Abbigail Kerns (Ellet CLC) D'Essence Jackson (Buchtel CLC) and Frozan Azimi (North High School) had a lunch meeting at the Sylvester Small Administration Building on February 22 with Interim Superintendent Mary Outely, Board President Derrick Hall, Board VP Diana Autry and AEA President Pat Shipe to discuss the upcoming cell phone field test that will be implemented in select schools.
There was healthy discourse, and our student board members shared their perspectives based on experiences and the experiences of their peers. The meeting was very productive. Because of the session, these students have a better understanding of why and how the decision was made to implement the tested use of locking bags to secure mobile devices during school hours; adult leaders have a better understanding of how the plan will affect scholars.
The student board looks forward to continued conversations with adult leaders on policies and procedures that directly impact students.
