 According to the Smyrna School District Board of Education, administrators, educators, and staff were consulted and various studies were examined, leading to the determination placing devices in a designated area during instructional times is in everyone's best interest. Students already received devices issued by the Smyrna District for instructional purposes. Smyrna School officials say feedback will be evaluated as well as data during the school year to determine if any adjustments to the policy will be needed. But for now, parents and guardians are being asked to make preparations.
