Fayette County Schools will allow students a seven-day transition for cellphone rule, superintendent says
Summary
After removing personal cellphones last year, the district will give students the first seven days of school to readjust to the rule, Superintendent Warfel told the board.
Superintendent Warfel told the board that after the district moved to prohibit personal cellphones last year, principals recommended a seven-day transition period at the start of the school year to help students adjust.
Warfel said the district will give students the first seven days of the upcoming school year to get used to the rule, noting the approach was intended to be fair and consistent with principal feedback. He described the shorter start-of-year window as sufficient because students had acclimated to the policy last year.
The board did not take a formal vote on changing the code of conduct during the meeting; Warfel said principals had agreed to the seven-day accommodation.
