New District Mobile Device Policy New District Mobile Device Policy

In alignment with California’s Phone-Free Schools Act (AB 3216), the district has adopted Board Policy 5131.8 and Administrative Regulation 5131.8, Mobile Communication Devices (TK-8), to enhance student focus and well-being. This policy was developed with vital input from family and staff surveys, the LCAP Educational Partner Committee, and our Collaborative Leadership Team.


Reducing digital distractions during the school day fosters deeper academic engagement and stronger face-to-face social connections. While we prioritize a distraction-free environment, exceptions remain for students with documented medical needs (IEP/504) or during genuine emergencies.


We appreciate our parents, students, and staff for helping shape this policy. For urgent matters during the day, please contact your school’s front office to reach your student.

  • Kendra Robinson (Blackstock teacher and AAPC Facilitator) co-presented with Ventura USD on the African American Parent Council (AAPC), discussing how the councils support student success, strengthen family engagement, and create a space for collaboration, advocacy, and shared leadership within the districts.


We are incredibly proud of these leaders for representing our district and look forward to the continued impact of their insights in fostering a community where every student belongs.
