    In before they address this and propose tracking each student’s phone to see if they are in a school zone (and of course to see much more).

      That would be impossible to do without impacting the ability of neighboring homes to access the internet as well. It’s not like the signals magically stop at the school parking lot.

      School would have to provide the phones, not even close to within our budget

        Plus plenty of students just wouldnt accept them an if forced to take them would just toss em into a drawer and forget about them.

          No, that’s how public education works.

          You can’t require people have things, you have to provide them. Thats how that works.

            We are discussing law makers just so you know, not saying it will happen but that some would love it it.
