JUHSD 1.27.2026 Regular Board Meeting

The Jefferson Union High School District (JUHSD) held a regular board meeting on February 14, 2026. The meeting included a student recognition segment honoring a high-achieving student, Lawrence, for his academic dedication and community service. The board also discussed a proposed district cell phone policy in response to California's AB 3216, which mandates conditions under which smartphones cannot be prohibited in schools. A committee presented research, survey data, and recommendations to limit smartphone use during instructional time, including the use of "yonder pouches" for phone storage, with the policy to be considered for approval at a future meeting. Additionally, the board received a detailed presentation on Oceanana High School's academic progress, special education programs, and facility improvements. No contract awards, RFPs, or procurement decisions were reported during this meeting, but the discussion of funding related to cell phone policy implementation and school upgrades was noted.
