There’s been a lot of talk about some upcoming changes where school policies are concerned in Ascension Parish.

Jackie Tisdell with the Ascension Parish School Board Office confirmed that the board is proposing to prohibit all usb ports on student devices for next school year, 2019-2020, along with flash drives from campus.

She said that some tech-savvy students have been able to bypass safety nets and that there has been an issue with certain juul smoking products looking just like usb devices.

Vaping pens were already prohibited, along with any smoking items.

On May 7th, the full school board will vote on the proposed changes to the Ascension Parish Student Handbook.
