Help Shape Fortuna High School District’s New Cell Phone Policy!

The Fortuna High School District is in the process of collecting data and community input to develop a cell phone policy for the 2025-2026 school year. This is an effort to comply with California's Phone-Free Schools Act, signed into law by Governor Newsom, which requires all school districts to develop and adopt policies limiting or prohibiting student smartphone use by July 1, 2026, and update them every five years. We want to hear from parents, students, and community members as we work to create guidelines that support student learning while addressing the role of cell phones in our schools.
