During the public-comment period at the Colman-Egan School District 50-5 board meeting, resident Kirsten Kimbrell asked the board to clarify the district's policy on student phones and texting during school hours. "I've been getting a lot more texts from my daughter during school hours," Kimbrell said, adding she wanted guidance on whether phones are permitted in class and which policy governs that practice.
Chair Kirsten acknowledged Kimbrell's concern and invited her to follow up with district staff for policy details, noting the board typically directs parents to the superintendent or principal for such clarifications. The board did not take immediate action; members said staff would review existing policy language and provide guidance at a future meeting or via staff contact.
