Board adopts a new cell phone policy, but the text isn't posted

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.
