Board proposes locking student phones away all day
What happened
The June 16, 2026 board agenda proposed using Win Element phone pouches to secure student phones for the whole school day, starting in the 2026-27 school year.
Why it matters to families
If adopted, this changes daily life for every K-12 student in the building. Phones would be locked away during class, lunch, and passing periods, not just during class time.
The evidence
Agenda item 9l for the June 16, 2026 board meeting recommends approving the use of Win Element Phone Pouches "to secure student phones during the school day."
