5.AN. Consider/Approve Purchase of Cell Phone Pouches Description: Priority #1: Optimize Engaging and Diverse Learning Grant funds will be used to purchase secure phone storage systems and related implementation materials that support a phone-free learning environment across the campus. The Phone-Free Schools Grant is needed to reduce classroom distractions, increase student engagement, improve academic focus, and support positive student behavior. Student cell phone use during instructional time has increasingly impacted attention, participation, social interaction, and classroom management. Implementing a structured phone-free environment will help maximize instructional time, improve school safety and communication protocols, and create a more focused learning atmosphere for all students. $123,000 Phone Free School Grant Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approves the purchase of cell phone pouches and delegates authority to the Superintendent, or her designee, to execute purchases in the best interest of the District.
