What happened
The proposed 2026-27 high-school handbook would require students to place phones in classroom caddies during every class and study hall, while still allowing use at lunch and between classes.
Why it matters to families
The proposal changes when students may access their phones throughout the school day and sets one consistent classroom rule.
The evidence
