Bell-to-bell restriction begins in September
The Beacon City School District has launched a survey to ask students, parents and staff about a newly enacted state law that will ban students from having phones during the academic day starting in September.Â
The law requires students to turn off and store phones and other internet-enabled devices. The district’s current rules, implemented for 2024-25, allow students to use their phones during recess, lunch and between classes.Â
The school board is expected to adopt an updated policy at its July 21 meeting with communication strategies and details on how students will store their phones.
The survey is at dub.sh/BCSD-phone-survey through Monday (June 16).
