Northshore school board to consider revised student cell phone policy

What the records say

In materials published ahead of the July 14, 2025 meeting, the Northshore School District board listed a revised Board Policy No. 3245, Mobile Communication Devices, as an Action (Consent) agenda item. ¹ The agenda entry indicates the item contains an attachment, but the supplied packet does not include that attachment, so the substance of the revision is not available in these records. ¹

• A revised Board Policy No. 3245 on mobile communication devices was scheduled as a consent action item for the July 14, 2025 board meeting. ¹
• The agenda entry says the item contains an attachment, but the packet provides no detail on what the revision proposes. ¹
• The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome. ¹

Why it matters

A district-wide cell phone rule touches every Northshore family and student. Because the record is only a pre-meeting agenda listing, it does not reveal what the revised policy would actually require—whether it tightens or loosens limits on student phone use—so families should watch for the attached policy text and the board's final action. ¹

What changed / what's next
