From time-to-time, staff members may wish to bring personal property to school either for reasons associated with their work responsibilities or for use during off-duty time. This practice is authorized provided it is understood that the Board of Education will not be responsible for any loss, damage, or misuse of such property.

While staff members may possess electronic pagers, cellular telephones, or other forms of personal (nondistrict-assigned) communication devices at school, they may not use such equipment/devices during their work time or in any manner that disrupts the educational process. Ordinarily, in the case of an emergency, the caller should contact the school office which will immediately notify the staff member. Exceptions may be made by the principal in cases where the health and/or safety of the staff member would be jeopardized.

If a staff member needs to make personal calls during his/her off-duty time, s/he may use a District telephone in accordance with AG 7530A - Personal Use of District Equipment/Facilities, and/or his/her personal cellular telephone.
