Episode Details

Wichita schools are cracking down on personal devices—no texting, calling, or videoing during the school day. Bring your phone? It gets locked up until after class. Repeat offenders? Parents get called in. The new state law backs this up, and the district’s definition covers just about any wireless gadget. District-issued tech is allowed—but only for approved uses. Some say it’s like the smoking ban—strict and serious. Teachers, parents, and staff will need to work together to make it stick. Medical devices are exempt, and students still need access to school phones for emergencies. Expect some hiccups when school starts, but the board’s reviewing the rules again in October—and they’re open to moving that up if needed. Parents and students will get updates before the year begins.
