Dr. Wallstrom categorized the cell phone policies into five distinct groups: \"yes,\" \"no,\" \"yes, but,\" \"yes, if,\" and \"no, but.\" Her analysis revealed a lack of uniformity across schools, indicating that cell phone rules vary significantly from one institution to another. This inconsistency raises questions about the effectiveness of the current guidelines and their implementation.
The handout provided detailed information on cell phone policies for specialty schools, elementary, middle, and high schools, allowing board members to easily reference specific rules and page numbers in the handbook. Dr. Wallstrom's findings suggest a need for a more cohesive approach to cell phone regulations within the school division, prompting further discussion on how to standardize these policies moving forward.
