The Saint Joseph School District is waiting for guidance from its state organization before implementing a controversial new law. The law prohibits teachers from using websites such as Facebook for communication with students.

Assistant to the Superintendent Steve Huff says Saint Joseph adopted its own social media rules years ago and won’t be changing them just yet.

 

The Missouri National Education Association says it’s working with the sponsor of the bill, State Senator Jane Cunningham of Chesterfield, on possible changes. The legislature passed the bill this year and the Governor signed it into law.
