Because cell phone usage by Basque students have been a problem in the past we have created an Electronic Use Policy.
Having said this, coordinators and interns need to monitor the American teens and interns use of their cell phones and devices during their time with students. We do not want to have double standards.
Please communicate with American’s to carefully assess whether a student is abusing the policy or just using the device as a camera or contacting their American family. Teach them not to jump to conclusions, Ask questions first. Be sure to download the policy and have a discussion with your helpers on this subject.
The Basque students and their parents have read this policy and agree to abide by its content.
Contact Rick Walker if you have any questions or help in enforcing the policy.
