Northshore school board scheduled vote on new mobile and smart devices policy

The Northshore School District board had a consent agenda item scheduled on Policy No. 3245 covering mobile and smart devices at its Feb. 24, 2025 meeting. 1

What the records say

Ahead of its Feb. 24, 2025 regular meeting, the Northshore School District board listed an item titled 'New Board Policy No. 3245 - Mobile and Smart Devices' on the consent agenda, where items can be approved as part of a routine block unless pulled for separate discussion. 1 The agenda entry notes the item contains an attachment with the policy details, but that attachment was not included in the available packet, so the substance of the policy has not been verified. Because this is a pre-meeting record, the available records do not establish the meeting's outcome. 1
