[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t a new law so is there a reason it was posted now? Did Reid put something out just now that said something about it that is new to FCPS?[/quote]

Spanberger was looking for a quick win and expanded the Younkin policy.[/quote]

The youngkin policy was always no phones all day. FCPS just skirted it this year by allowing them during lunch. Next year it will be fully implemented.

That’s the state document from 2024. This is FCPS saying will implement 26-27: https://www.fcps.edu/news/fairfax-county-school-board-adopts-new-cell-phone-policy-and-updates-student-rights-and[/quote]

This policy includes smartwatches which is laughable. Wear a long-sleeve shirt and don't be dumb about it and the school will never know. Or get one of the smart watches designed to look like a luxury watch.

Or buy your kid a smartwatch and then find a doctor will to say that they need HR data to monitor a condition. The policy already exempts kids who need phones or smart devices for medical reasons (insulin, etc.)

A policy that you can easily get around can't accomplish anything.
