High school advances classroom phone-caddy rule

Pembroke Public Schools · Jun 16, 2026

Day-to-day

What happened

The proposed 2026-27 high-school handbook would require students to place phones in classroom caddies during every class and study hall, while still allowing use at lunch and between classes.

Why it matters to families

The proposal changes when students may access their phones throughout the school day and sets one consistent classroom rule.

The evidence

Approved June 16 minutes describe the phone-caddy requirement and record first-reading approval; the July agenda scheduled the handbook for second reading, but no approved July minutes are posted.

The source

June 16, 2026 approved School Committee minutes
