Episode Details

Lawrence schools are cracking down on personal electronics with a new bell-to-bell ban starting August, aligning with state law to keep all students from pre-K through 12th grade device-free during school hours—except when directed by teachers for learning or in emergencies. While school-issued devices remain allowed for instruction, exceptions are made for medical or educational needs. This builds on prior restrictions, now tightening even further to boost focus and safety. The board will finalize the policy August 10th, balancing student responsibility with support for younger learners and families. Meanwhile, the district renews tech safety contracts, continues federal meal programs, and maintains HVAC systems to keep classrooms running smoothly.
