FCPS cellphone practices in 2023-24 included the following: phones must be turned off and stored out-of-sight during the school day except during specified times, and in limited areas. Secondary students were allowed to use their cell phones on buses provided they used headphones, earbuds or other personal listening equipment.
FCPS Spokesman Katie Hornung said the majority of the group believed cell phones should be contained in secured pouches during the school day. These commercial pouches are made for school use by the Yondr company and can only be opened with a special device when the student leaves school.
