Board Policy 7540.07, Instructional Mobile Devices, is recommended for adoption to govern ownership and responsible use, distribution, tracking, collection, and disposal/disposition of Instructional Mobile Devices (IMDs). Additionally, under certain conditions, recycling is an appropriate form of disposal of IMDs, and the new policy will conform to current District practices for the disposition of student IMDs, align with Policy 7460, Conservation of Natural and Material Resources, and uphold the District’s Clean Energy Taskforce’s recommendation of diverting 50% of all school waste from landfill through recycling by 2026. The proposed amendments to Policy 7310, Disposition of Surplus Property, clarify that the disposition of IMDs will be governed by newly adopted Policy 7540.07.

To Amend Board Policies 8405, School Safety, and 8410, Emergency Management, Preparedness, and Response, to implement changes to the State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.0018, School Safety Requirements and Monitoring, as well as to conform the policies to current District practices. The proposed amendments to Board Policy 8405, School Safety, include: (1) clarifying the responsibility of school administrators to determine if additional safe-school officers are needed for extra-curricular and after-school events by considering pertinent safety factors and making the request to Miami-Dade Schools Police through their Region; (2) specifying that the District must maintain current listings of mobile panic alert systems implemented by all public schools, including charter schools, within the District, and update the information within five (5) school days of a school opening or closing, or when any other change occurs that impacts the accuracy of the information provided by the District to the Office of Safe Schools; (3) requiring charter schools within the District to maintain current listings of mobile panic alert systems implemented, provide the required information to the District in accordance with District directives, and update the information to the District within two (2) school days of a school opening or closing, or when any other change occurs that impacts the accuracy of the information provided by the District to the Office of Safe Schools. Board Policy 8405, School Safety, and Board Policy 8410, Emergency Management, Preparedness, and Response, are proposed for amendment to specify that the District’s "Alyssa’s Alert" mobile panic alert system includes a technology application with a mobile panic alert button for use by employees. The policies require school administrators to download and sign up for the application/mobile panic alert button.

Specific Authority: Fla. Stat. §§ 1001.41 (1), (2), 1001.43(1), (7).
