In the interest of limiting distractions, promoting academic success, and improving students’ emotional wellness, the Monticello Central School District Board of Education is considering changes to its policy on student personal electronic devices, effective in the 2025-26 school year. Under these proposed changes, all students would be required to have their cell phones and/or other personal electronic devices turned off and stowed away from the beginning to the end of the school day.
To help families, staff and students prepare for these proposed changes, the district is holding a series of community forums where district leaders will share more information and answer questions.
The forums will be held on the following dates:
April 29, 6 p.m., AP Hughs Auditorium
May 14, 6 p.m., via Zoom (virtual)
May 29, 6 p.m., AP Hughs Auditorium
We encourage all community members to plan to attend one of these forums to learn more about this important change, which we believe will help our students focus in class, connect more with their classmates, and improve school climate.
