This year, the Minnesota Legislature directed all school districts to adopt a cell phone policy in 2025. In response, the School Board asked the community to provide feedback through surveys and community conversations. A summary of the responses is provided here. A cell phone advisory committee made up of parents, students and staff identified themes in the responses and provided the following recommendations to the School Board at its December 10 meeting:
Elementary students should not access or use cell phones during school hours. Middle school and high school students should not access or use cell phones during scheduled academic class time or during activities/assemblies when instruction or information is being delivered. Students may access and use cell phones during non-academic or unscheduled time. These recommendations will ultimately be used to help inform the Board in adopting a cell phone policy sometime in early 2025. Learn more at mvpschools.org/cellphones.
