Committee scheduled a vote to change the student electronic device policy

What happened

The notice for the August 11, 2026 public meeting lists Resolution 26-08-05, a vote to amend the district's Electronic Device Policy, which sets the rules for phones and other personal devices in school. An updated version of the policy was on the work-session agendas for July 6 and August 3, 2026. The filed notices do not include the text of the change, and no minutes for the August 11 meeting had been filed with the state as of this review.

Why it matters to families

Device rules shape an ordinary school day for every student, from whether a phone can be out in class to what happens if it is. Families reading the public record can see that the rule is being changed but not yet what it now says, so the adopted policy is worth asking the district for.

The evidence

The August 11, 2026 meeting notice filed with the Rhode Island Department of State lists Resolution 26-08-05 to amend the Electronic Device Policy. The July 6 and August 3, 2026 work-session notices list an 'Updated Electronic Device Policy' for discussion. No minutes for these meetings appear in the state filing record.
