Policy describes when students may use personal devices

Day-to-day

What happened

The policy permits personal-device use before and after school, at lunch and between classes subject to conditions; at other times devices must be off and out of sight. It lists emergency, health and disability-plan exceptions, and instructional use authorized by a teacher and approved by the principal.

Why it matters to families

The rules affect student access to personal devices at school.

The evidence

Policy 5136 displays an October 19, 2026 revision. The same-day meeting agenda lists a policy update, but collected records do not establish the vote.
