Acceptable Cell Phone Usage as perscribed by Metro Nashville Board of Education

The new policy allows students to use personal technology during hours of lunch and transition. These devices are not to be used during instructional hours unless it is used as an aid to classroom instruction. This will be determined by the classroom teacher and building administrator, not the student.
