Starting in September, Billings Public Schools will enforce a stricter cell phone policy across the district. The new policy, known as 8320, was approved by the school board and will limit cell phone use during class, though students can use their phones between classes, at lunch, and before or after school. The policy, which some community members support for reducing distractions, has sparked mixed reactions from students, including seniors Maya Simeon and Kyrie Blades, who have expressed differing views on the change.
