What happened
Current Policy 09.4261 permits possession of devices but prohibits instructional-time use except emergencies, teacher-directed instruction or teacher authorization. Disability-authorized devices are excluded. An administrator may confiscate a device, with return only to a parent or guardian; schools may add rules. The policy was amended July 21, 2025 under Order V.D., before the trailing-year meeting window.
