Leggett Independent School District

Dear Parents of 3rd – 12th,
We have been a little relaxed on the below policy because students were using them in the High School math
class at the beginning of the year. The phones are now becoming an issue in class. The policy states the
phone is to be turned off during the instructional day which would be 7:45-3:25 pm, but we’re willing to
comprise by allowing students to use them during their lunch period. If students are caught with them
at any other time that isn’t lunch or approved by the teacher, then the below-underlined consequence
will be followed. The policy will be implemented on Monday, February 8th.

Student Handbook Page 33-34:

Possession and Use of Personal Telecommunications Devices, Including MobileTelephones
For safety purposes, the district permits students to possess personal mobile telephones; however,
these devices must remain turned off during the instructional day, including during all testing, unless
they are being used for approved instructional purposes. Headphones and earbuds are considered an
accessory and are not allowed on campus. A student must have the approval to possess other
telecommunications devices such as netbooks, laptops, tablets, or other portable computers.
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 without authorization during the school day, the device
will be confiscated. The parent may pick up the confiscated telecommunications device from the
principal’s office for a fee of $15 or the telecommunication device can remain with the principal for 7
calendar days at which time the student may pick it up without a fee.
Confiscated telecommunications devices that are not retrieved by the student or the student’s parents
will be disposed of after the notice required by law. See policy FNCE.
In limited circumstances and in accordance with the law, a student’s personal telecommunications device
may be searched by authorized personnel. See Searches on page 60 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.

Sincerely,
Kachel Teal
