How a Cellphone Ban Has Been Received In Sag Harbor Schools

This school year, Pierson High School instituted a new cellphone policy that requires students to put their phones away in locked bags, called Yondr pouches, at the beginning of the school day. The phones stay in the pouches until the security team unlocks them at the end of the day. On this week's podcast, report Cailin Riley joins the editors to discuss how the policy is working out, what other school districts are doing, and the benefits and detriments of no-phone policies in schools.
