What happened

The board approved the 2026-27 student handbook on July 13, 2026. It says students turn in cell phones at the start of each class and can use them only at breakfast and lunch. Smartwatches and earbuds are not allowed during school hours.

Why it matters to families

This changes the school day for every student and family, including how to reach a child.

The evidence

The handbook says phones are permitted only during breakfast and lunch, must be turned in at the start of each class, are confiscated if seen or heard, and that smart watches and air pods are not permitted. Students needing a call must use a school phone.
