Superintendent previews 2025–26 initiatives: digital hall pass, unified bell times, cell‑phone policy alignment
Summary
Superintendent Frank Narducci told the board the district will share a video with families outlining 2025–26 initiatives including a digital hall pass via Infinite Campus, a student-absence reporting feature, alignment with new state cell-phone legislation and unified start times for elementary schools.
Superintendent Frank Narducci told the Chandler Unified School District Governing Board on June 11 that the district will distribute a video to families outlining updates and initiatives for the 2025–26 school year.
Narducci said the district will implement a digital hall pass for secondary schools accessible through the parent portal on Infinite Campus, and add a portal feature to allow parents and guardians to digitally report student absences. He said the district’s existing board policy on responsible technology use aligns with new state legislation on cell-phone use; in-class phone use will be guided by teacher expectations and restricted to academic purposes.
Other items Narducci highlighted included unified start and end times for elementary schools and closer alignment of junior-high start and end times to support transportation logistics, a website redesign for cusd80.com, and continued emphasis on attendance and kindness/civility curriculum lessons for K–9. He also noted an athletics recognition: Perry High School graduate Jalen Williams, now with the Oklahoma Thunder, was recognized in district communications for the school’s temporary street naming and a social-media video that exceeded 100,000 views.
Ending: Narducci said staff and schools are preparing for the first day of classes and invited board members to review the materials and video that will be shared with families.
