ALLEN ISD CELL PHONE POLICY

For safety purposes, the district permits students to possess personal mobile telephones, smart watches, and other electronic devices. Devices are prohibited during all testing unless authorized by a teacher. All electronic devices are prohibited on campus at the Dillard Special Achievement Center.

The use of mobile telephones or any device capable of capturing images is strictly prohibited in locker rooms or restroom areas while at school or at a school-related or school-sponsored event.

If a student uses a telecommunications device that interrupts the school environment without authorization during the school day, the device may be confiscated. Confiscated telecommunications devices that are not retrieved by the student or the student’s parents will be disposed of after the notice as required by law. [See policy FNCE.]

In limited circumstances and in accordance with law, a student’s personal telecommunications device may be searched by authorized personnel. [See Searches and Policy FNF.]

Any disciplinary action will be in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. The district is not responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen telecommunications devices.

At the second violation and beyond, a parent is required to come to school to pick up the phone.

The use of cell phones in locker rooms or restroom areas at any time while at school or at a school sponsored event is strictly prohibited.
