June 2026 Policy Committee Meeting

The June 12, 2026, Policy Committee Meeting of the Waukesha School District focused primarily on updating and approving a series of policies to comply with Wisconsin Act 89, which mandates formal policies on appropriate communication and professional boundaries between staff and students. Key procurement-related discussions included the adoption of a new two-way communication tool called "Rooms," intended to replace disparate communication apps and provide a centralized, district-approved platform for staff, students, and parents. The committee also approved policies addressing staff use of personal communication devices, social media use, volunteer screening and communication protocols, and student technology acceptable use, including responsible artificial intelligence use. Several motions to approve these updated policies passed unanimously, reflecting the district's commitment to enhancing student safety, clarifying communication standards, and ensuring compliance with state law. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were discussed, but the introduction of the "Rooms" communication platform suggests upcoming procurement and implementation activities.
