The Weber School District Board of Education approved revisions to Policy 8350 on August 12, 2026, according to a November 12 report. The changes to the student electronic device policy are intended to create school environments where students can be present, engaged, connected, and ready to learn.
Under the revised policy, elementary school students are prohibited from using privately owned electronic devices during school hours. Additionally, students at elementary schools are discouraged from using privately owned electronic devices before school once they have arrived on school grounds.
For secondary schools, students are prohibited from using privately owned electronic devices during class time, in restrooms, and in locker rooms. These expectations apply to personal technology and cell phones and will be implemented consistently across all secondary schools.
Each school is responsible for ensuring students understand the expectations and any school-specific implementation procedures before and at the beginning of the school year.
