cell phones

Portland K-12 students will not be allowed to have or use their phones during the day after the school board Tuesday unanimously passed a controversial bell-to-bell cellphone ban to begin in the fall.

The legislature's education committee heard testimony Wednesday on bills that would limit student access to cellphones during the school day.

Under a new policy, sixth through twelfth grade students in RSU 1 will be required to lock their phone or smart watch into a magnetic pouch for the entirety of the school day.

Administrators say they hope the policy will help to curb distractions for students — particularly in younger grades — during the school day.

Lewiston school administrators say a new proposal restricting cell phone use could help to curb a growing number of students using their devices during class.
