Board reviews required LB140 cell-phone policy changes; seeks community feedback
Summary
District staff briefed the board on LB140-driven handbook changes that prohibit cell phone use during instructional time with narrow exceptions; the board opened the floor for public comment and said handbooks must be approved in July.
District administrators briefed the board on LB140 and the required updates to student handbooks that will restrict cell phone use during instructional time, with specified exceptions.
A presenter said the policy mirrors existing district practice in many places but requires stakeholder participation because of a tight implementation timeline. "Cell phones are prohibited except for these exceptions: IEP or 504 accommodations, instructional use with teacher approval, emergencies, student health-care management, and board or staff discretion," the presenter explained. Staff said they will solicit feedback and post materials on the district website ahead of the July handbook approval deadline.
