This year, the School Board is asking the community to provide feedback regarding student use of cell phones in schools. This feedback will be shared with an advisory committee of parents, students and staff for their review. The group will identify themes found in the responses and provide recommendations to the School Board. The feedback and recommendations will ultimately be used to help inform the creation of a cell phone policy. Learn more at www.mvpschools.org/cellphones.

Information about a community conversation event and links to surveys can be found at www.mvpschools.org/cellphones.
