Description

Portland Public Schools' new policy is not accompanied by a pledge to pay for lockable pouches for every middle and high school student in the district. Without pouches, educators and administrators in districts and schools that have similar policies warn it could be more difficult to enforce an “all day, off and away” rule when students are not in class.

Middle and high school students who attend Portland Public Schools will not be allowed to use their cellphones or smartwatches during the school day and will face uniform and escalating consequences for violations under a districtwide policy approved 5-2 by the school board Tuesday.
