The Killeen ISD board in Bell County has approved a new policy requiring students to lock their phones in pouches during the school day.
Students at Killeen Independent School District will have to lock their phones in secure poaches and put them away next year as part of a new policy intended to curb behavioral issues in the classroom. The Killeen ISD board voted unanimously Tuesday to make campuses “phone-free” for the 2024-2025 school year. It joins a movement of schools nationwide that have removed personal electronic devices from campus to quell bad behavior, boost student engagement and improve mental health.
