Junior high/high school cuts back on phones and Chromebooks
What happened
In August 2026 the JH/HS principal told the board the school is cutting back on technology, including cell phones and Chromebooks. He said the change surprised students and parents and will take time to work.
Why it matters to families
This changes students' school day. In May, staff had proposed a phone check-in/check-out system because phones caused problems last year.
The evidence
