Board edits cell phone rules in student handbooks
What happened
On August 24, 2026, the board approved 2026-27 student handbooks for early childhood through high school, but removed the first two sentences under Cell Phone Use. Michigan passed a school cell phone law earlier in 2026, and the board said it would need to update its policies.
Why it matters to families
The handbooks set what students can do with phones at school this year. The minutes do not say what the removed sentences said.
The evidence
Student handbook motion and amendments in the August 24, 2026 minutes; cell phone law noted February 23, 2026.
