Board discusses phone and wearable device incidents at district schools
Summary
Board members and staff discussed a small number of logged incidents involving student phones and watches; staff said most students are complying and that students go to the office to make necessary calls.
During other business, board members and staff discussed student use of phones and wearable devices in hallways and classrooms.
A staff speaker (S8) said there have been "a few log entries and stuff with the phones. We might have had 1 maybe 1 student that's had multiple ones...I think I've seen 1 kid with them in their ears" while noting that overall students are adapting and that routine office procedures (students use the office landline to call home) remain in place.
Board members welcomed the report and asked follow-up questions; staff said they will continue monitoring incidents and enforcing existing procedures. No formal policy change or vote occurred during this discussion.
