CCSD won’t have a social media policy in place for the start of the school year.
District officials crafted a policy that spells out how teachers should interact with students on social media, but…
The school board won’t vote on it now because of concerns over a new state law requiring background checks for volunteers.
The district’s policy would require volunteers to pay the $60 cost of background checks.
Teachers and parents say that would deter people from donating their time.
The school district has had an ongoing problem with sexual misconduct between employees and students.
More than a dozen teachers were arrested last year on such charges.
It’s unclear when the policy will go back before the board for a vote.
