What’s next for Lincoln-Sudbury students? At the May 13 School Committee meeting, a significant policy issue was on the horizon: a potential cell phone ban or the use of phone pouches. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #LincolnSudburyRsdMA
The board is currently considering the logistics of a ban. While the Student Senate President has expressed readiness to provide a student perspective on how this would affect learning and social interaction, the policy remains a pending decision with high impact.
Beyond the phone policy, the English Department presented new academic structures, including a pilot program for 'High Honors' coursework. This 'contract' system allows students to test advanced workloads without permanent transcript consequences if they revert to Honors.
The meeting also finalized new leadership: Catherine Bitter is the new School Committee Chair, and Charles I. Morton IV is Vice Chair. As these policies move forward, residents should watch closely for how student and parent input is integrated. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/lincoln-sudbury-rsd/ls-school-committee/2026-05-13/
During the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School Committee meeting on May 13, 2026, several key decisions and upcoming policy shifts were discussed that will directly affect students and families. One of the most significant items discussed was the potential implementation of a cell phone ban or the use of phone pouches within the district. This is a high-stakes policy that affects student autonomy and classroom dynamics. While the board has indicated they will seek input from the Student Senate to understand the student perspective, residents should prepare to weigh in as the logistics and impact of such a restriction are finalized. In academic news, the English Department introduced a new leveling system. This includes a pilot program for 'High Honors' courses, which uses a 'contract' system. This allows students to attempt high-level coursework with the option to revert to the Honors level without it negatively impacting their permanent transcript. Finally, the committee completed its reorganization, electing Catherine Bitter as Chair and Charles I. Morton IV as Vice Chair. As the district moves into the next term, these leadership changes and policy discussions will set the tone for the upcoming school year. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/lincoln-sudbury-rsd/ls-school-committee/2026-05-13/ #MeetingWatch #LincolnSudburyRsdMA
