It is the policy of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to prohibit the use of cellular phones, pagers, or any electronic signaling device by students on campus during normal school hours or school activities, excluding the students’ lunchtime or nutrition breaks unless the school site council has adopted a stricter policy.

Students are permitted to use cellular phones or other electronic mobile devices on campus before and after school or during school activities that occur outside of school hours. For District, State and National assessments, students are prohibited access to any unauthorized electronic devices at any time during the entire testing session. 

Students must comply anytime a request is made by school personnel to cease the use of a cellular telephone and other electronic mobile device even before or after school. Schools may adopt more stringent cellular phone policies through the School Site Council.

Cell phone use on the school bus is for emergency purposes only; driver authorization is required. For more information, you may call Transportation Services at (800) 522-8737. The District is not responsible for lost or stolen cellular telephones or other electronic mobile devices. Items may be subject to confiscation, sent to the Deans office and held for parent/guardian conference.
