The school administration formally adopted the new electronics policy today. We have requested a follow-up briefing to ensure the enforcement guidelines remain consistent with our proposal. Thank you for maintaining the pressure required to reach this outcome.

I wholehearted support this policy change. Research shows that phones and other devices not strictly being used for educational purposes undermines social development and is a distraction in the educational setting.
I’m in favor of limiting computer usage. However, I’m torn when it comes to the phones. In case of an emergency such as Stoneman Douglas, it’s important for the students to have access to their cellphones. Of course we hope there is never a situation like this where it would be necessary, but unfortunately in today’s times we do need to take that into consideration.
I agree 110%! I don’t know how the teachers can teach and monitor computer use at the same time. I know that this is been an issue especially in the case of permitting kids to listen to music on their headphones during class. It’s a complete distraction having them constantly change the music station when they should be doing the work or listening to the teacher. If music is to be played, the teacher can play classical music on low for the whole class like they did in Montessori school LOL.
This is a great idea.. focus on your surroundings.. Your friends.. YOUR SCHOOL..
No use of phone at school. In case of an emergency, parents can always call the school or the child can use the school phone
I agree with this petition 100%.
