Trustees press staff to add Yondr language and ensure phone-pouch enforcement
Summary
Board members asked staff to add Yondr pouch language into policy and AGs, to confirm that Title funds paid for pouches, and to ensure consistent enforcement of personal communication device rules across schools.
Trustees raised enforcement concerns about Yondr pouches and other web-enabled personal devices such as smart watches and smart glasses. Several board members said the district invested in pouches and asked staff to bring handbook/AG language into the policy itself so expectations match practice.
A staff member confirmed the district used Title funding to purchase the pouches and said there is capacity to replace damaged units if needed. Trustees emphasized the need for consistent enforcement across buildings and asked staff to add explicit Yondr wording to the policy and AGs so principals and families have the same guidance.
