7530.01 - USE OF DISTRICT CELLULAR TELEPHONES

The Board of Education authorizes the use of school owned cellular telephones by school personnel for the performance of school duties.

	A.	For business and efficiency purposes, the Superintendent may deem it necessary for certain employees to carry cellular telephones with instant connect. Such telephones will be leased/procured by the District.
	B.	Insignificant personal use of cellular telephones is permitted by the Board for emergency use only to the extent of the lease terms where there is no incremental cost to the District. Should the telephone contract minutes be overused, or if personal calls are made outside the telephone's lease terms, which generate additional charges, the employee will reimburse the District for the cost of personal calls to the extent that the personal calls caused the over-usage of minutes or generated extra charges.
	C.	School employees with school owned cellular telephones are responsible for the replacement or repair of the telephones that are negligently lost or damaged.
