LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Clark County School District is beginning a new district-wide policy to help reduce cell phone distractions in class.
Beginning in the 2024-2025 school year, all students in grades 6-12 will need to place their cell phones in non-locking, signal-blocking pouches.
The district says these pouches prevent and reduce distractions in the classroom and will be placed in classroom areas that students to access in emergencies.
Roughly 10% of schools have already piloted this program in February.
Parents, guardians, and students will be provided additional information as pouches are introduced at school sites.
