What will provincial cellphone restriction mandate look like for SD57?
PRINCE GEORGE – School District 57 (SD57) is preparing to open its doors once again for the upcoming school year, as class is back in session on September 3 after the long weekend. With it comes a new provincial mandate restricting cellphone use in classrooms, but this can look different all across the province. So what can SD57 expect this year?
“Each school will be doing it differently. The expectation is they (students) won’t be engaging with the device unless they are authorized by the teacher and the high schools. (As for) elementary, (the phone) is essentially gone from bell to bell,” said SD57 School Board Chair Craig Brennan.
