What happened

On September 23, 2026 the board voted unanimously to approve a cell phone policy, along with a capitalization policy. The policy is not on the school's website. The only posted handbook is the 2021-22 edition, which bars phone use from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. unless a teacher allows it.

Why it matters to families

Families need to know the current phone rules, and the rules a student is held to should be easy to find.

The evidence

September 23, 2026 minutes record the votes. The handbook linked on the school's Board Meetings & Policies page is dated 2021-2022.
