Jessamine County Schools are implementing a new policy aimed at reducing classroom distractions caused by cell phones. Starting this school year, students will be required to place their cell phones in designated pouches upon entering class, a stricter approach than previous rules. While students can still use their phones during passing periods and lunch, their use during instructional time will be limited. Teachers will no longer have discretion on phone usage, ensuring a uniform approach. The district emphasizes using alternative technologies like iPads and Chromebooks to replace cell phones for assignments. Despite the restrictions, cell phones will remain accessible in emergencies or lockdown situations, reflecting real-world preparedness.
