Board of Education Policy H-6980 outlines the rules for student
possession and use of cellular phones, pagers and other electronic
signaling devices on school campuses, on school buses and at
school-sponsored activities, while under the supervision and control of
school district employees.
According to the policy:
All students may use these devices on campus before school begins and
after school ends. Students in high school grades 9-12 also may use
such devices during the lunch period.
These devices must be kept out of sight and turned off during the
instructional program. Unauthorized use of such devices disrupts the
instructional program and distracts from the learning environment.
Therefore unauthorized use is grounds for confiscation of the device by
school officials, including classroom teachers. Repeated unauthorized
use of such devices may lead to disciplinary action.
Students and parents are notified of this policy each year through the Facts for Parents booklet.
