Wicomico Schools Ban Phones in Class | Dover News

Wicomico County Public Schools is launching a strict no-phone policy starting September 2026, banning personal devices like cell phones, smartwatches, and earbuds during all school hours — from class to lunch to the bus — except before the first bell and after dismissal.

It also positions the district ahead of Maryland’s upcoming statewide law, while still allowing school-issued tech for educational use.
