BERLIN \u2014 While the statewide group Phone-Free CT is asking lawmakers to adopt a bell-to-bell cellphone ban in public schools, Berlin schools already have their own rules that closely match what the group is seeking.<\/p>\n
According to district policies, the Berlin Middle High School students in grades 6-12 are not allowed to have cellphones, headphones or other electronic devices during the school day unless a teacher gives permission for class use. The policy requires students to store their devices in lockers from 7:20 a.m. to 2:07 p.m. and not carry them at any time during school hours.<\/p>\n
Students who break the rule face consequences that increase with each offense, including device confiscation, parent contact and possible suspension\u00a0<\/p>\n
The elementary schools follow a similar approach. Students are not allowed to use or access personal electronic devices during the school day. Phones must be turned off and stored in lockers from 9 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. Devices may be confiscated and returned only to parents if the rule is broken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BERLIN \u2014 While the statewide group Phone-Free CT is asking lawmakers to adopt a bell-to-bell cellphone ban in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[99],"tags":[112,6031,6032,190,6030,6034,6035,6033,4712],"class_list":["post-7182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-berlin","tag-berlin","tag-berlin-middle-high-school","tag-cell","tag-germany","tag-personal-electronic-devices","tag-phone-free-ct","tag-phone-free-ct-coalition","tag-smartphone","tag-smartphones"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
