Board materials propose tighter student device rules

What happened

The board's June materials describe a proposed policy that would keep students from using or accessing personal electronic devices during the school day, with limited exceptions.

Why it matters to families

The proposed rule would change how students can use phones, watches, earbuds, tablets, and similar devices at school.

The evidence

The June 8 agenda says the board was asked to consider the policy on first read. The attached policy says devices would be turned off and stored away during the school day, while allowing exceptions for IEP or 504 needs, medical necessity, and some off-campus learning situations.
