A Washougal School Board member is calling for the Washougal School District (WSD) to consider tightening its protocols around the use of cellphones in school facilities during educational hours.
During the Board’s Aug. 27 meeting, Jim Cooper called for a workshop to discuss WSD policy 3245, which states that “telecommunications devices will be turned on and operated only before and after the regular school day and during the student’s lunch break, unless an emergency situation exists that involves imminent physical danger or a school administrator authorizes the student to use the device.”
