Board advances first reading of stricter student cell-phone policy
Summary
Following reference to Governor Little's executive order, the board approved a first reading of a proposed policy restricting student cell-phone use during school hours, with a lunch-period exception for high school students.
The board held a first reading of a proposed, more stringent district cell-phone policy in response to an executive order from Governor Little described in the minutes as "the phone free learning act." The draft would bar student cell phone use from the start to the end of the school day, except that high school students could use phones during their lunch period; students caught using phones outside the allowed time would face consequences under building-level disciplinary policies.
Trustee Joe Maloney moved to approve the first reading and Trustee Jeff Volle seconded; the minutes record that the motion carried unanimously. The first reading does not enact the policy; the board approved the reading to proceed with the policy-development process and additional review will occur before any final adoption.
