At least one Kansas district is projecting $150,000 to $180,000 just to equip secondary students with individual phone lockers, according to the Wichita Eagle. The state provided zero dedicated funding. Every dollar comes from local budgets.
Districts choosing fabric locking pouches — think Yondr, the magnetic-lock system concert venues use to keep audiences present — face an estimated $30 per unit. Statewide, the Kansas Division of the Budget put that figure at roughly $13.4 million if every student received one, according to the Lawrence KS Times. Lockers require a steeper upfront investment. Neither option came with a state check attached.
Legislators passed the policy. The price tag was someone else’s problem.
One of my schools is using the Yondr pouches. I haven’t researched them to see how they work- something about a big magnet mounted outside the school.
Looks like you have to touch it to some tjing to get it to unlock. I wonder, what if you go to an event that uses these, you get piss drunk,and forget to unlock it before you leave. Are you just fucked now?
That’s why they’re mounting one outside the high school. So you can drive by to unlock it if you forget to do it before you leave.
Why are you getting piss drunk at school?
To keep my hands from shaking during first period, duh.
But then you should of done it on the bus, it takes time to reach blood…
Obviously unless you’re the bus driver, then you have start earlier
