Caldwell schools have officially prohibited student cell phone and other personal electronic communication device use as of Nov. 11, when the school board’s draft policies on the matter passed second reading.
Such devices must be turned off, kept out of sight and not on a student’s person during the school day, with the exception of high school students during lunch period.
Failure to comply will result in a device’s confiscation. With the first offense, a student or their parent/guardian may pick up the device from the office at the end of the school day. With the second offense, only the parent/guardian may pick up the device, and after the third offense, the district will not return the device after a disciplinary meeting with the student and their parent/guardian.
