They did something similar in Indiana. It's not a 'the cops are coming' thing. It's more about having a law that the school can reference when whiny ass parents get mad when a teacher takes a students phone away because it's disrupting class.
Yeah, that seems reasonable to me
I was trying to think how this could be enforced. It actually makes sense when you frame it this way, didn't think about the parent side. "Sorry Karen, that's the law! Your kid week get her phone back in a week!"
Most send it to the front office and the parent can pick it up after school.
When I was at school we weren't allowed to eat in class. One day we had a supply teacher who caught a kid trying to eat a sandwich. The teacher confiscated the sandwich and ate it at the front of the class.
Now imagine if it had been a phone: kid tries to use phone, teacher confiscates phone, teacher tries to root phone and bricks it in the process. "You can have this back at the end of the day."
