Background: At its meeting on October 27, 2016, the Board referred Resolution 1617R-003 by Director Falk regarding the development of a policy and procedures governing the use of drones to the Legislation, Rules, and Policies Committee.

The June-July 2016 edition of Wisconsin School News published by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB), included important information regarding the increased use of drones in schools due to reduced costs as a result of advanced technology in this area. Based on this, it is important for school districts to develop policies to assure alignment with already established rules and regulations associated with the use of drones on or near school property. For example, because drones are flying in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airspace, school districts must be certain that policies associated with the use of drones must align to FAA rules and regulations. The Administration will work closely with WASB in developing an administrative policy on the use of drones.
Fiscal Impact Statement: This item does not authorize expenditures.
Implementation and Assessment Plan Upon approval by the Board, the Administration will work with the City Attorney's Office to begin development of the new policy and procedures.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends adopting Resolution 1617R-003 by Director Falk to develop policies and procedures governing the use of drones.
