Findings and Interpretation
During the first year of implementation, Monroe One BOCES recorded only 16 internet-enabled device violations across all instructional programs. No violations occurred in grades K–8, and all incidents were limited to grades 9–12. No statistically significant disparate impact was identified. Overall, the data indicate strong compliance with the distraction-free schools policy and support the continued use of clear expectations and consistent enforcement practices.
Statistical Significance Determination
No statistically significant disparate impact was identified.
While demographic differences are present within the incident data, enrollment data and statistical analysis did not identify a statistically significant disparate impact in policy enforcement. The relatively low number of total incidents suggests a high level of compliance with the policy across Monroe One BOCES programs. Furthermore, the absence of incidents in grades K–8 and the limited number of violations overall indicate that students and staff have adapted successfully to the expectations associated with distraction-free learning.
