Fairfax County introduced new policy guidelines at the beginning of the new school year that essentially bans the use of personal electronic devices during the school day.
According to
wtop.com, "Fairfax County’s new middle school guidelines, issued last month by the superintendent’s office reads: “Phones must be silenced and kept put away for the duration of the school day. Storage may be in a locker, backpack, pencil bag, etc. during the day. Teachers may allow cell phone usage in their classrooms at their discretion with support of the administration. Cell phones may be used on campus before the first bell and after the last bell.”
The office of Superintendent Scott Brabrand issued the guidance that, “Some schools may have more prescriptive rules at their school, but these recommended best practices are intended to serve as a consistent minimum set of guidelines."
As per wtop.com, "The Fairfax County guidelines are more restrictive for elementary school students than middle or high school students, “which recognizes the age-ability of students to use their cell phones wisely.”
In elementary schools, the guidelines suggest phones be kept in backpacks all day, while for high school students “Teachers may allow cell phone usage in their classrooms at their discretion, with the support of the administration.”
