Potential Update to MSD's Cell Phone Policy

The Medford School District (MSD) is committed to fostering an engaging and effective learning environment for all students. As part of this commitment, The Medford School Board is exploring a potential update to its existing cell phone policy, considering further limits on student cell phone use in classrooms. 

Our policy states, in part: A ‘personal electronic device’ is a device that is capable of electronically communicating, sending, receiving, storing, recording, reproducing and/or displaying information and data, including pictures and videos. Personal electronic devices shall be turned off during instructional or class time or at any other time where such use of the device would disrupt school activities, except as allowed by the instructor.
