JT - Electronic Device Policy

File:  JT

 

It is the policy of the Franklin Public School District to create a safe learning environment for all students and staff.  The District recognizes that the use of electronic devices and cell phones during school can detract from the learning environment or disruption to the school community.  Inappropriate texting, pictures and other electronic device use can result in bullying and cheating and may create a hostile learning environment.  Therefore, to promote a safe learning environment, the Superintendent or his/her designee in conjunction with administrators from the elementary, middle, and high schools administer appropriate use of electronic devices consistent with the purposes and mission of the Franklin Public Schools.  Students should have no expectation of privacy with respect to electronic devices used in school or for school activities.
