TEMPORARY POLICY REGARDING STUDENT USE OF CELL PHONES

SCIENCE HILL HIGH SCHOOL

As a test, the Johnson City Board of Education has authorized a temporary change in the published policy regarding student use of cellular phones at Science Hill High School.  It is a goal of Science Hill High School and the Johnson City Schools that students develop the good judgment upon which telephone etiquette is based.  With the freedom to use cell phones at school comes the responsibility to make wise choices as to their use.

The change as described below will take effect on February 5, 2008 and may continue until March 7, 2008.  The school administration has the Board’s approval to end the test period before March 7 if the situation warrants.

Students may now use cell phones at school during non-instructional times.  Use of cell phones, including text messaging, is prohibited during classes and other times that may be announced, e.g. assemblies or other programs.

Students who have phones in class are responsible for having their phones turned off or otherwise silenced so that incoming calls will not interfere with instruction.

Students are expected to be in class on time.  Finishing a phone call in the hall is not a justification for tardiness to class.

The taking of photos or the recording of videos, whether by cell phone or any other device, in places where privacy is a reasonable expectation is strictly prohibited.

Using cell phone cameras to record altercations on school grounds or at school events is prohibited.  In such cases, phones may be confiscated as evidence.

The use of cell phones for the purpose of cheating is strictly prohibited.  As a means of protecting instructional time and/or providing test security, teachers may elect to collect students’ cell phones during any class and return them at the end of the period.

Please refer to the Student Handbook for current consequences for infractions.  When the Board of Education reviews the results of this test, school administration may make recommendations for possible revisions of these consequences.
