The policy waiver is expected to be approved and would allow kids to use the devices at lunch or under supervision and adhere to the Student Code of Conduct for the remainder of the day.
The request is part of the school's new "positive behavior support" strategy. The policy waiver has also been approved and shown positive results for other Lake County High Schools, officials said.
