Board adopts social media restrictions policy required by new state law
What happened
On March 16, 2026 the board approved a Social Media Restrictions Policy to meet Georgia SB 351, which required one by April 30, 2026. The same night it approved a $7,203.33 Raptor Technologies alert system that gives certified staff panic buttons, shared with Spring Creek and paid with security grant money.
Why it matters to families
The school now has rules on social media to comply with state law, and staff have a new way to call for help in an emergency.
The evidence
The March 16, 2026 board minutes say the policy "was created to meet the requirements of SB 351 and must be in place by April 30, 2026" and record a unanimous vote approving it. They also record the vote to buy "a safety alert system from Raptor Technologies for the price of $7,203.33." The policy text itself was not posted in the public documents folders that were collected.
