Caldwell schools have officially prohibited student cell phone and other personal electronic communication device use as of Nov. 11, when the school board’s draft policies on the matter passed second reading. The Idaho Press reports these devices must be turned off, kept out of sight and not on a student’s person during the school day, with the exception of high school students during lunch period. Failure to comply will result in a device’s confiscation. This news comes two weeks after Gov. Brad Little signed an executive order known as the “Phone Free Learning Act” which encourages school districts to implement comprehensive device restrictions before the current academic year ends. Districts who do so will receive a one-time payment of $5,000.
