The Danville School Board unveiled its new cell phone policy for middle and high school students on Thursday. Students will have to keep their phones bagged up during school hours.
Students will be required to use Yonder bags to store their phones during the day. The phones will remain locked in the pouch for the entire school day and will be opened after school hours. School staff will also be expected to stay off of their cell phones during school hours.
Multiple school districts have previously implemented the Yonder pouches.
The new policy will start on the first day of school. School staff will also be expected to stay off of their cell phones during school hours.
