Committee tightens personal-device language to focus enforcement on instructional time
Summary
Committee recommended changing 'regular instructional hours' to 'regular instructional time' and adding an emergency exception to strengthen administrators' ability to enforce the student-device policy during instruction.
The committee discussed minor but practical wording edits to the district's personal-electronic-device policy to better target enforcement to class instruction.
"That very last line that refers to regular instructional hours, could we maybe change that to regular instructional time?" the Chair proposed, explaining the distinction between hours on the clock and the time a student is in instruction. Committee members agreed the revision would better align enforcement with instructional periods rather than meal or passing times.
Members also proposed adding the word "only" to a clause to read "only in the event of an emergency," giving administrators stronger, clearer authority to permit phone use in narrowly defined situations. Staff said they would incorporate the suggested language in a revised draft.
