In a classroom setting:

1. A student may only use a PD for educational purposes at the direction of a teacher or administrator, or for medical needs,

2. In grades K-8, student PDs will remain "off and away" for the day

Assessments and Academic Integrity

The use, possession, access, or activation of a PD during any quiz, test, examination, assessment, or other academic activity in which such use is prohibited may be considered a violation of academic integrity expectations, even if the device is not actively being used. Students must comply with all staff directions regarding the storage or surrender of PDs during assessments. 

Unauthorized use of a PD during an assessment or other academic activity may result in disciplinary consequences, invalidation of the assessment, loss of credit, and/or other consequences consistent with school and District procedures.

Photography, Audio Recording, and Video Recording

Students may not use PDs to photograph, audio record, video record, livestream, monitor, or otherwise capture the image, voice, actions, or personal information of another individual without permission. The unauthorized recording, photographing, monitoring, or transmission of information involving students, staff members, or visitors may result in disciplinary action.

Particularly serious violations include the use of a PD to record, photograph, monitor, or transmit information in locations or situations where individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy, including but not limited to:

• Restrooms

• Locker rooms

• Changing areas

• Health offices

• Counseling offices

• Private meetings or conversations

• Any other location designated by the school as private or restricted

Students are prohibited from using PDs to secretly record conversations, capture images or videos of others without permission, or distribute such recordings through any electronic, digital, social media, messaging, or online platform.

Violations involving unauthorized recordings, photographs, or transmissions may result in disciplinary action, confiscation of the device, loss of technology privileges, notification to parents/guardians, referral to law enforcement when appropriate, and/or any other consequences authorized by District policy and applicable law.

Emerging Technologies

The District recognizes that new forms of electronic and wearable technologies continue to be developed. Any device or technology that performs functions similar to those described above shall be subject to the same expectations, restrictions, and consequences outlined in this handbook, regardless of whether the device is specifically identified by name.
