District previews draft cell-phone policy, raises concerns about smart watches and lockers
Summary
Staff presented a draft student cell-phone policy noting smart watches are also causing classroom problems; the policy will be included in the student handbook, parents will be notified via ParentSquare, and the district is exploring adding lockers at Reynolds High School.
A staff presenter briefed the board May 28 on a draft cell-phone policy for students, saying the policy will be incorporated into the student handbook and parents will be notified through ParentSquare.
The presenter said classroom disruptions are not limited to phones: "Smart watches are also a problem in many classrooms." The district is also "looking at getting more lockers for RHS," the presenter said, indicating the district is weighing hardware and communications approaches to reduce in-class distractions.
The transcript records these summary points in the presentation segment; it does not include a line-by-line policy text or the staff recommendation timeline in the recorded segment. Board members did not record a vote on the draft in the segment; the item was presented for review.
