Final phone-policy draft bans devices in class, not at lunch

What happened

The final June proposal would prohibit student phone use during instructional time while continuing to allow phones during passing periods, brunch, and lunch.

Why it matters to families

If adopted as presented, this changes the daily rules for every student while stopping short of the full-day ban that staff had favored; the Board also proposed revisiting the policy for 2027-28.

The evidence

The June 17 agenda labels the item a second reading and adoption, describes an instructional-time ban, and says phones remain allowed during passing periods, brunch, and lunch. Minutes have not yet been published, so this alert does not claim the vote occurred.
