District proposes banning riding bikes and scooters on campus during the school day

What happened

A proposed update to the district’s safety policy would prohibit students from riding personal transportation devices on campus during the school day. Students would have to walk devices—including bicycles, scooters, skateboards and e-bikes—to designated parking areas and secure them there; the agenda does not establish whether the board adopted the change.

Why it matters to families

If adopted, the rule would change how students arrive at and move around school campuses, affecting families whose children use bikes or other personal transportation devices.

The evidence

The October 19 agenda describes an action item to update Board Policy/Administrative Regulation 5142, Safety. Its background says the regulation would prohibit riding personal transportation devices on campus during the school day and require students to walk devices to designated parking areas and secure them. The supplied packet contains no meeting minutes or vote outcome.
