Uplift Local meeting briefs: Updated Oct. 2

North Wasco School Board, Sept. 25 — The board approved a new cell phone policy, with detention after three violations of the ban on phones in school. The ban seems to be working. Parents raised concerns about a special education program, and the district is looking for money for an elevator fix before winter — the alternative for a student who needs it is an outside route to class. From Documenter Chelsea Clark.

North Bonneville City Council, Sept. 23 — During this meeting, the audio system kept malfunctioning and several key people who attended online couldn't hear anything. Council delayed a vote on the mayor's compensation until a later meeting — which Uplift Local learned about at this meeting and wrote about here. The Skamania Count Sheriff says she will be looking for volunteers —  trying to follow the Klickitat County model — and a farm stand is coming to town. From Documenter Lynda Ontiveros.
