Glenbard Township High School District 87
Policy 7:245
Students
Possession and Use of Electronic Communication Devices (Cell Phones, Beepers and Pagers)
In recognition that electronic communication devices such as cell phones, beepers and pagers have become a common mode of communication between parents and students, the Board of Education authorizes the administration to implement procedures that allow students to possess such devices while on school grounds.
In order to maintain a positive educational environment, the use of electronic communication devices shall be limited to before and after school hours only. Use during, before and after school extracurricular activities may be prohibited or restricted by the activity supervisor. During the course of the regular school day, electronic communication devices must be stored in the off mode (or otherwise incapable of receiving an active signal), in lockers, and shall not be on the student’s person at any time.
Students shall be personally responsible for the security of their electronic communication devices. The District assumes no responsibility for theft, loss or damage of such devices. Violation of this policy or its accompanying procedures will subject the student to disciplinary consequences as further enumerated within the administration’s procedures.
