1 POLICY TITLE Queen Anne s County Public Schools Cell Phone Policy ADOPTION/EFFECTIVE DATE MOST RECENTLY AMENDED MOST RECENTLY REAFFIRMED POLICY/PROCEDURE MANUAL SUMMARY CATEGORY Students I. Policy A. Purpose The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for the student use of cell/smart phones on the grounds, buildings, and buses of Queen Anne s County Public Schools. B. Policy Statement The Board of Education of Queen Anne s County recognizes that cell/smart phones are an integral part of our everyday world and through instant communication may add to the well being of students. C. Rationale While in general, The Queen Anne s County Board of Education acknowledges that cell/smart phones are valuable communication devices the Board also recognizes the possibility that these devices may distract or disrupt an educational environment. Therefore limited use of student cell/smart phones will be permitted but must strictly follow the prescribed guidelines. D. Definition Acceptable Use of Electronic Networks Policy is the overriding policy that governs and establishes guidelines for the use of all technology equipment, software, related materials, electronic communications and licensed network systems. Cell/Smart phone is a mobile wireless electronic device used to make telephone calls across a wide geographic area, served by many public cells. A smart phone varies from a cell phone because it usually includes functions similar to those found on a personal computer. Guidelines are those procedures designed to ensure that portable communication devices do not disrupt the learning environment. Public School Property refers to any Queen Anne s County Public School grounds, building, and buses. Regular Instructional Hours are defined as the beginning of the opening bell of the school day and concludes at the dismissal bell at the end of the school day.
2 E. Implementation The Superintendent is responsible for drafting procedural guidelines for the implementation of this policy. F. Evaluation The Superintendent will provide the Board of Education a review of this policy in August The focus of this review will be the effectiveness of this policy in assisting the Board in fulfilling its mission. G. References Board Approval Acknowledged By: Dr. Carol A. Williamson, Secretary and Treasurer Board of Education of Queen Anne s County
