Fruitport committee moves to adopt state-required ban on student wireless devices during class
Summary
Committee discussed a Thrun Law Firm policy update to comply with state law requiring schools to prohibit wireless communication devices during instructional time; the update will have its first reading in April and a second reading in May to allow inclusion in 2026–27 student handbooks.
The Student Affairs Committee reviewed a policy update from Thrun Law Firm on April 13 intended to bring district rules on student wireless communication devices into compliance with a new state law.
According to the meeting minutes, state law now requires schools to adopt policies prohibiting the use of wireless communication devices during instructional time. The committee discussed the proposed update and scheduled a first reading at the April meeting and a second reading in May so the policy could be approved in time to appear in student handbooks for the 2026–2027 school year.
The minutes do not record a formal vote at the committee level; they reflect a plan for the two readings that would be needed for final board adoption. The update was presented as a Thrun Law Firm policy change to be considered under Board policy and incorporated into district handbooks if adopted.
