School board tweaks cellphone policy

COEUR d’ALENE — The Coeur d’Alene School Board finalized its policy Monday night prohibiting most students from using cellphones during school hours, but expanded it to allow high schoolers to check their devices between classes. Policy 3265P, governing the district’s “Bring Your Own Device” program requires students in the Coeur d’Alene School District to turn off their personal electronic devices during school hours, and keep them “off their person” such as in a backpack or locker, during class and between classes.
