ELECTRONIC TELECOMMUNICATION DEVICES

Electronic communication devices, including but not limited to pagers and/or cell phones are strongly discouraged on the school campus.  In the event of their presence on campus, they should not be activated, visible, or allowed to cause a disruption during the school day.  Additionally, they may be brought to the office prior to the start of the school day to avoid disciplinary actions.  The School will not be held responsible for any loss or theft of Electronic devices.

A violation for these provisions shall be grounds for disciplinary actions, including, but not limited to, suspension from school.  Nothing shall prohibit the use and operation by any persons, including students, of any electronic telecommunication device in the event of an emergency.  "Emergency" shall mean an actual or imminent threat to public health or safety which may result in loss of life, injury, or property damage.  For the purpose of this policy, the term use and operation shall mean whenever the electronic telecommunication device is turned on.
