The initiative aims to enhance student focus, minimize classroom distractions, and establish uniform expectations across all district campuses. The policy introduces more stringent regulations for younger students, while high schoolers will be permitted limited usage. Seattle Public School’s Superintendent Ben Shuldiner shares more details about the new policy on this episode of the Rhythm & News Podcast.
