Cell Phone Policy Change - Righetti and Delta High Schools
Come the new school year in August at Righetti and Delta high schools, except for lunch times cell phones will be off limits. The Santa Maria High School District has set a new policy that restricts any usage of devices during class time and passing periods. Public Info Officer Kenny Klein said the purpose is to minimize distractions and maximize student engagement, academic growth and meaningful social interaction. The policy is also in effect at Santa Maria and Pioneer Valley high schools.
