Wireless Communication Device Policy - High Schools


Our goal is to create a safe environment, conducive to learning, and free from distractions that hinder the learning process. (School Name) has established the following practices in line with HB 1105 and District policy 5136-Wireless Communication Devices as stated in the Code of Student Conduct.

House Bill 1105 states that all high school students are PROHIBITED from using wireless communication devices during instructional time, unless permitted by the teacher for educational purposes only. Students are permitted to have a wireless device in their possession at school, however the device must remain out of sight and powered off during the school day. School Administration will adopt policies addressing locations within the school where a high school student can use their device when granted permission. This is a privilege that may be forfeited by any student who fails to abide by the terms of the school and/or District policy or abuses the privilege.

The following consequences will apply for a student using a cell phone during restricted times:

Students are personally and solely responsible for the care and security of their cell phone. The Board and school assume no responsibility for theft, loss, damage to, or misuse/unauthorized use of WCDs brought onto campus. Families who need to get in touch with their child during the school day should call the school office.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school at (863) 534-0194. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
