Cell Phone Ban

Wednesday night, the Eugene 4J School Board approved a new policy barring students’ use of personal electronic devices in K-12 schools. They did so just under the state's required deadline of Oct. 31.

This summer, Gov. Tina Kotek issued an executive order mandating all 197 Oregon school districts ban the use of personal electronic devices during the school day. Districts still have a little time to adopt their phone-free policies –but some have already made the switch.
