Starting today, the Washoe County School District launches the “Phone Away & Learn Today” policy to minimize smartphone distractions during class. This initiative is part of a nationwide effort to improve student focus, mental health, and academic performance. The policy is aligned with similar state-level restrictions across the U.S., such as those in Florida, Virginia, and Indiana. With exceptions for emergencies and educational use, the policy aims to foster a more productive learning environment.
