If the board has not yet provided mobile phones to the Principal and Deputy Principal they should do the following as soon as possible:
- Develop a use of school mobile phones policy
(this would be similar to or indeed could already be encompassed by, what they probably already have in terms of their policy on use of IT devices owned/provided by the school) - Purchase the number of necessary mobile phones (with new phone numbers) under one of the OGP contracts
- If costs have been incurred to date by school management for using their own mobile phones for school business, these costs must be identified and claimed through the Revenue approved form included in the expenses policy of the board
- It should be made clear that once a school mobile phone has been provided, costs incurred where the personal phone is used will not be reimbursed
