Tell the Board to
Get This Right.
LMSD's new K-12 Technology Use Policy goes to a final vote in August. The Board has paused to listen — and what they hear in the next few weeks decides the policy our children live under. The single most powerful thing you can do takes two minutes: email the Board.
Policies 134 & 137 — the only opt-out rules — repealed before any replacement was final.
First reading of the new Technology Use Policy approved.
Paused for input. Board leaders are working with the community this summer.
Final vote planned. This is the window to be heard.
Email the Board
Board members have said they're listening. Personal emails — in your own words, about your own child or classroom — carry the most weight. Here's the two-minute version.
One click. All 9 members.
This opens your email app addressed to all nine Board members (with the public comment inbox cc'd), a subject line, and a ready-to-send message. Add a sentence or two of your own before you hit send — that's what makes it count.
What We're Asking the Board For
Five protections — the heart of the message. See where the draft falls short →
- 1Transparency & ongoing oversight — a standing committee where educators can speak honestly, without fear.
- 2A bell-to-bell personal-device ban, K-12.
- 3Zero tolerance for non-educational content and online distractions.
- 4Teacher-led, human-centered instruction — computers to teach digital skills, not to deliver the core curriculum.
- 5Informed parent opt-in consent before any student is issued a 1:1 device.
