What happened
Policy 3290 makes personal devices off and stored all day in elementary and middle schools; high-school students may use devices at lunch but not during instructional time unless authorized or accommodated.
Why it matters to families
The policy standardizes student phone and personal-device expectations districtwide for 2026-27, with different access rules by grade span and exceptions for disability and health needs.
The evidence
The June 15 official action summary says the board approved Policy 3290, and the implementation page specifies the elementary, middle, and high-school rules.
