Board approves policy package including device updates
What happened
On August 10 the board approved a policy update package whose linked overview includes personal-device revisions. Separately, the 2026–27 handbook permits phones before and after school, but not during the school day, including lunch and passing time; it permits nondistracting smart watches in school mode and teacher-directed headphones.
Why it matters to families
The rule affects students’ access to personal devices throughout the school day.
The evidence
August 10 minutes record approval of the package; the handbook states the separate device rules. The handbook publication date and exact adopted policy options are not established.
