The purpose of this policy is to establish a phone-free learning environment in order to promote focus, engagement, and academic success. By restricting the use of personal electronic devices during the school day, this policy aims to foster a productive atmosphere in which students can develop critical skills outlined in the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate. Students will be encouraged to engage meaningfully with peers and school staff, preparing them for success in college, careers, and life.
This policy was approved by JCSD School Board on 11/12/2024. Enforcement of this policy will begin on 1/6/2025.
