Students at Lima Senior returned from Christmas break with a new rule in place to limit cell phone use to only during their lunch period. The Lima School Board developed the policy for cell phones and personal communication devices last fall and approved it during their December meeting. There is an exception if the teachers get permission to use it for a lesson. The policy also lays out punishment if the students are caught using it during unapproved times, from confiscation of the device for the day up to an in-school suspension for multiple violations.

With the end of the school year quickly approaching, the Lima school board is getting everything ready.
