Cell phone usage Untitled

* 1. In light of a recent North Dakota law (HB 1160) which would require public school districts to have policies requiring student cellphones be silenced and locked away during the entire school day on school grounds. The devices, including Bluetooth-enabled devices, tablets, smartwatches or other wearable devices and gaming devices, must be stored in a lockable pouch, phone locker or other inaccessible locations.

The law allows students to use their phones while privately traveling to an off-site educational location, such as a career and technology center. It also allows school districts to craft their own cellphone-use policy during school-related non-instructional time, such as bus rides, field trips, sporting events and school dances. Would you be in favor of such a policy for the Avon School District?
