Clinton board adopts updated cell‑phone policy for students
Summary
Trustees adopted an updated cell‑phone policy for the 2025–26 school year, covering grades 4–8; the board discussed parent communications and posting research resources on the website to explain the rationale.
The Clinton School District board voted to adopt an updated student cell‑phone policy (policy 36‑30) for the 2025–26 school year; trustees said the policy will require students in covered grades to put phones away during the school day with limited exceptions.
Board members discussed how to communicate the change to families — via Facebook, email, the district website and Infinite Campus — and whether to include research links about screen time impacts. "We don't want it to be real heavy handed or apologetic, but just matter of fact," one trustee said; Superintendent Kathy suggested adding brain‑research resources to the website to explain the rationale for the policy.
