Oregon-Davis students and their families may soon have some new rules for their use of the corporation’s take-home electronic devices.

Superintendent Don Harman says an updated technology agreement with students and parents was presented during Monday’s school board meeting. “The current agreement is vague, if you will,” he says. “And so the [new] agreement just has a little more information, more expectations of what we expect with our one-to-one devices.”

Those include iPads and MacBooks. The school board is expected to consider adopting the revised agreement during its December meeting.

Meanwhile, Oregon-Davis is also establishing a wellness committee. Harman says it came about as part of the corporation’s effort to bring its policies up to date with NEOLA recommendations. “One of the policies was that we need to have a wellness committee to look at our wellness of our school district,” he says. “We currently do have a committee that will be meeting here at the end of this month.”

He adds the rest of the NEOLA policies the school board approved this week consisted mainly of wording changes and other minor adjustments.
