Skyline High School has implemented a new policy where students must place their cellphones in a pocket chart during class to minimize distractions. Phones can still be used during pass times and lunch. This policy, introduced after input from parents, staff, and students, aims to improve classroom engagement. Principal Casey Elmore reports that while students were initially unhappy, the policy has led to increased engagement and improved focus, with some students expressing gratitude for the change.
