Board approves Avon High School handbook changes on parking enforcement and cell phones
Summary
Trustees approved amendments to the Avon High School student handbook to allow limited parking enforcement monitored by SROs and a clarified cell-phone discipline approach; administrators said confiscations fell from about 50 the first day to 15 by Aug. 7.
The board approved changes to the Avon High School 2026–27 student handbook that create a limited parking-fee enforcement system and tighten the cell-phone discipline protocol.
Dr. Finley described the parking enforcement as a small fee with progressive discipline and SROs verifying improper parking before penalties; the intent is to better track who is on campus and to reduce conflicts. On the cell-phone policy, administrators said the first-day confiscations fell from roughly 50 cell phones to 15 by Aug. 7 after teachers and administrators implemented the updated approach: "By the end, on August 7, there were only 15 cell phones," staff reported.
Trustees praised the more measured policies as reasonable and consistent with student input; the board approved the handbook amendments by unanimous vote.
