The Southwest School Corporation Board of Trustees adopted policy 301A on July 15, 2026, setting discipline guidelines for student wireless communication devices to comply with a new state law. Administrator said the policy requires devices to be "powered off" and kept in lockers; repeated violations will result in escalating consequences, and a third offense may remove the privilege of storing the device in a locker.
During discussion a board member asked about parents tracking devices; Administrator noted that if a phone is powered off tracking services do not function. The policy will be included in all handbooks for the 2026–27 school year and the board approved the motion 4–0.
