School districts implement updated cell phone policies for upcoming year

It’s also important for students to note that violations of the new personal device policies entail repercussions. In some districts like Poland Local Schools, a first offense will result in a confiscated device and one day in-school suspension. At Austintown Fitch High School, disciplinary action against a first offense is listed as an ‘Initial verbal warning to the student with directions to store the cell phone as per policy.’
