Administrators and staff shall be issued a cellular phone paid for by the Board on the basis of need, as determined by the Superintendent or designee. The Board will also provide a reasonable monthly service plan consistent with the School District’s need. These cellular phones are not for personal use except in the case of emergencies.

Personal calls during work hours can interfere with employee productivity and be distracting to others, regardless of whether on a cellular or regular telephone. Employees are expected to use discretion in using personal cellular telephones while at work. Employees are asked to make personal calls during breaks and lunch period and to see that friends and family members are aware of the Board’s policy.

Violation of this policy may constitute just cause for disciplinary action up to and including termination.

If deemed necessary, the Superintendent shall prepare the necessary administrative guidelines for the implementation of this policy.
