Cozad School Board 12-28-21 Cell phone policy has new expectations at Cozad High School

Beginning Jan. 4 students at Cozad High School who violate the district’s cell phone use and expectations policy will face a 30-minute detention after school on the day of the violation. Principal Corey Fisher told the Cozad School Board at their December meeting that student cell phone use is an issue that continues to pose daily challenges for teachers and administrators alike. “With the exception of banning them from the schools, there isn’t a practice that addresses all of the concerns,” Fisher wrote in his monthly report. “We have made it a priority to communicate expectations to students regarding cell phone use during the school day. When a student violates the expectations in a classroom, teachers have the authority to confiscate the device and report it to the office. Depending on frequency, students can receive their phones at the end of the day after earned consequences have been enforced.”
