‘So many things that could go wrong’ | Walnut Hills student petitions to ban new phone pouch policy
CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Public School students are now required to magnetically lock their cell phones in pouches all day.
CPS says the new Yondr pouch policy — which most high schools in the district have implemented — is about cutting out distractions and improving academic performance.
“I think there’s a lot of students who are actually going to benefit from being free from distraction,” said Brandon Craig, a CPS board member.
Dr. Kareem Moncree-Moffett, a CPS board member, said Hughes High School experienced a 38% decrease in 9th grade failures.
