Prairie Farm board updates the student phone policy

What happened
On June 15 the board approved a revised student personal communication devices policy (5136). Students may use phones before and after school, and high schoolers may use them at lunch.
Why it matters to families
At other times phones must be silenced and put out of sight unless an administrator approves. That changes the school day for every family.
The evidence
June 15 minutes show the second reading approved after a first reading on May 18. The policy text says use is limited to before and after school, high school lunch, and activities, and recording others without consent is not allowed.
