Another potential teachers' grievance in our future?

The Trib reported yesterday in Social media policy scrapped by Bethel Park School Board:

The Bethel Park School Board rescinded a nearly 2-year-old social media policy for staff and volunteers this week after the teachers' union agreed to withdraw an unfair labor charge it filed with the state Labor Relations Board, officials said. 
Asserting that the policy with rules for using cell phones, Facebook, Twitter and blogs was overly broad, the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania last year also told district officials it was prepared to take legal action against the district. 
Bethel Park school directors voted 5-0 Tuesday to scrap the policy; four members were absent. Board members couldn't be reached for comment Wednesday. 
“Under the advisement of our solicitors, we rescinded it to give us some time to review it,” district Superintendent Nancy Aloi Rose said.
Here in Mt. Lebanon, our school board directors adopted a similar policy, Policy GBEE Student Communications on October 17, 2011. I wonder how the Bethel Park Teachers' Union would rate our policy.

Speaking of MTLSD policies, I love the spelling of "Exercises" listed on Policy IKF here.
