Summary
Meade School District USD 226 will require students in grades 7 through 12 to place phones in locked pouches during the upcoming school year.
The move is meant to comply with Kansas' new bell-to-bell cell phone ban, which the state passed in March.
Yondr will supply the magnetic bags, which students will carry all day while the devices remain unusable.
The pouches can be opened only at a magnetic unlocking station, making Meade one of the Kansas districts rolling out enforcement plans for the statewide ban.
