What happened

Students may possess personal telecommunications devices but may not use them during instructional time except for emergencies, teacher-directed instructional use, other teacher authorization, or disability-related authorized devices.

Why it matters to families

The rule directly controls student phone and similar device use during class.

The evidence

Current Policy 09.4261 defines personal telecommunications devices, sets the instructional-time prohibition and exceptions, and separately excludes authorized disability-related devices from its definition.
