What happened

A revised phone policy approved June 16, 2026 bars elementary students from bringing phones and other personal devices to school. Middle schoolers' phones must stay out of sight all day, including lunch. High schoolers may use phones only at lunch and after school.

Why it matters to families

Phones taken away are returned only after a meeting with a parent. School handbooks set the other consequences.

The evidence

Policy JICJ (second-reading version) and June 16, 2026 minutes approving the second reading.
