Required instruction (including but not limited to lessons, readings, texts, discussions, etc.) is part of our district curriculum, Billings Public Schools continues to follow Senate Bill 99 as well as board policy 2310 procedure 2 which states that when selecting materials, teachers, and administrators must review their content and consider the issues of violence, profanity, prurient subject matter, cultural concerns, and historical accuracy in the selection process. Objections to lessons and/or materials must be brought to the teacher's attention in writing, using the District Alternative Material Request Form. Alternatives may be available within district guidelines. If an objection is submitted, the teacher will then select an alternative option from the appropriate course/grade level guidelines to provide the students with an independent study opportunity as allowed by state law and local policy. The approved reading list, courses, and units of study are available on the District webpage under curriculum.

Electronic Device/Cell Phone Policy: 

Billings Public Schools recommends students NOT bring cell phones or electronic devices to school and takes no responsibility for devices that are lost or stolen, even when those devices are placed in a classroom caddy or other storage system during the class period. Also, be aware that the school can revoke any student's cell phone privileges and require the phone to be turned in upon arrival and not returned until dismissal as a result of a student's failure to use the phone appropriately while on campus.

• No cell phones or other personal electronic devices use is allowed during class time, educational or otherwise. All cell phones should be put into the school provided phone storage spot during class time. Devices can only be used before and after school, during passing time or at lunch.

• Parents can call the office and messages will be relayed to students.
