What happened

One section allows phones at lunch, breaks, and between classes. Another says devices may operate only before or after school, with limited exceptions.

Why it matters to families

Students and families need a clear rule to avoid discipline. The published handbook leaves this difference unresolved.

The evidence

The 2026–27 handbook’s Personal Items section and Telecommunications Devices section give different limits. This identifies a wording conflict, not how staff enforce the rules. June 17 is the council’s handbook approval date, not a verified revision date for these passages.
