The requirement will apply to students in grades 6 to 12 within the Clark County School District.
Starting in the 2024-25 school year, students in Las Vegas' Clark County School District will require all students in grades 6 to 12 to carry their cell phones in non-locking, signal-blocking pouches.
The Clark County School District, which serves 300,000 students, said the policy is meant to"reduce distractions and improve student learning and achievement," according to a news release. It applies to all electronic devices.The pouches will be placed in a location that will"be available" to students in case of an emergency, the district said.
“Every minute of instruction is important for student learning, and studies clearly show that cell phones distract students,” CCSD interim superintendent Dr. Brenda Larsen-Mitchell said. “Ten schools piloted the cell phone pouches last year with success leading us to expand the program to all our secondary schools.”CCSD says more campus-related information will soon be sent to parents.
Generally, students will place their cell phones in the signal-blocking pouch. Students must place their phones on silent mode with airplane mode recommended.The use of electronic devices is allowed during certain periods at school: Another new rule for the upcoming school year is that students must wear an identification badge while on a secondary CCSD school campus.
