One month into the new school year, McKenzie County Public School officials are giving the new cell phone policy rave reviews.
The district implemented a change to student cell phone access during the school day when the school year began. Students in middle school and high school are now required to place phones in a sleeve called the Yondr pouch when they arrive at school. The sleeve is secured and unlocked with magnetic locking devices at several access points throughout the school building.
