Cell phones
The Jefferson County Board of Education adopted school policy at the March 2009 board meeting which allows students to have a cell phone in their possession while on the school campus but the phone may not be in use or visible for any reason from the opening time until the closing time of each school day and the school's principal shall establish these times.  The opening and closing time at JCHS is from the time a student enters the building in the morning until he or she exits the building in the afternoon.  The policy is stated on the Jefferson County website at https://eboard.eboardsolutions.com/ePolicy/policy.aspx?PC=JCDAF&Sch=4095&S=4095&RevNo=1.11&C=J&Z=P .  Students who do not abide by the policy will be assigned to ISS for three days and their cellular phone will be confiscated for twenty school days.  Dr. Howard met with each grade in the theatre after the board policy was adopted and explained the new policy to the students.
