New Policies for the 2025-2026 School Year

New Cell Phone Restrictions are Now in Place
On June 18, 2025, the board adopted Board Policy 503.9 Student Use of Personal Electronic Devices. This policy prohibits the use of smartphones and watches during instructional time. Students found in violation of this policy are subject to confiscation of the device and progressive consequences for repeat offenders up to and including suspension or expulsion. For the purposes of this policy, in grades 9-12 passing time and lunch are not considered instructional time.
AI Generated Student Images
Exploitation and manipulation of student images will not be tolerated in Hudson Schools. Attempts to modify or doctor student images in a way that depicts nudity or carries sexual connotations falls under the purview of Board Policy 503.1 Student Conduct and would be egregious enough to warrant a hearing with a recommendation for expulsion. Furthermore, the Board of Directors adopted 605.8 Artificial Intelligence on February 21, 2024 with the companion regulation 605.8R1. In that regulation, the paragraph titled ‘Prohibited Use’ suggests that any violation of this regulation will be subject to discipline, with special emphasis on this type of image manipulation.
Medication Administration
Board Policy 507.2 governs the administration of medication to students. Likewise, the district stocks over the counter medication that can be administered with signed parent consent. Even though our school nurse will call prior to the administration of any medication, we must have authorized signed consent in advance. In order for your student to receive over the counter medication, parents/guardians must complete the consent form that can be accessed by clicking this link. Please visit the Health Information Tab on the registration page of our school website for information on the medications that we stock as well as all other health related information.
