Waynesville R-VI students: New law goes into effect this school year
Beginning with the 2025-26 school year, Missouri law (Senate Bill 68 https://www.senate.mo.gov/25info/pdf-bill/tat/SB68.pdf pages 62-64) prohibits students from using or displaying electronic personal communication devices from the beginning until the end of the school day, including, but not limited to, during instructional time, meal times, breaks, time between classes and study halls.
The majority of our students (PreK-8th) have already been following this policy.
The law defines an "electronic personal communications device" as a portable device that is used to initiate, receive, store, or view communication, information, images, or data electronically. All student phones and devices will now need to be stored for the entire school day.
More details regarding enforcement and consequences of violating the district’s electronic devices policy will be available in an updated Student Handbook and Discipline Policy.
More details will be communicated to families in the future. We look forward to your support as we implement these new policy changes.
Please send your questions to questions@waynesville.k12.mo.us. We will use your questions to develop follow up communication.
