High school to require phones in lockers all day
What happened
On July 14, 2026 the middle/high school principal introduced a more restrictive high school policy that would require phones to be kept in lockers for the whole school day, matching the middle school rule. In August he said cell phone practice changes would be communicated to families.
Why it matters to families
It changes the school day for every high school student. Phones would be off limits from the first bell to the last.
The evidence
The July 14 minutes list the MS/HS cell phone policy introduction. The Aug. 11 minutes note upcoming communication about cell phone practice changes. The minutes do not show a board vote, so the final rule may differ.
