| XV. | Charter Policies | |
| A. | First Reading of BP 6361.5 Cell Phone Policy~ | |
|
For your consideration is the first reading of BP 6361.5 Cell Phone Policy.
Assembly bill 272 signed into law by Gov. Newsom on July 1, allows (but does not require) a school board to adopt a policy to limit the use of smartphones by students while they are at school.
The bill declares that there is growing evidence that unrestricted use of smartphones by students during the school day interferes with the educational mission of schools; lowers pupil performance, particularly among low-achieving pupils; promotes cyber bullying; and contributes to an increase in teenage anxiety, depression and suicide.
AB 272, which adds section 48901.7 to the Education Code, states that governing boards may adopt a policy to limit or prohibit the use of smartphones by students while they are at school, but the law does not require boards to take any action.
Currently, Bridges does not have a cell phone specific policy, although it is mentioned in our handbook. I thought we might want to consider a specific policy, given the new bill.
