While a state law requiring school districts to ban cellphones in the classroom doesn’t start until next year, a few districts have decided to start this year. That includes Forsyth County, where the Board of Education unanimously approved the change in June.
Elementary and middle school students will be unable to have their phones or other devices out, or powered on, during the school day.
High school students will be able to use phones and other devices during their assigned lunch periods, but at no other time.
