Nearly 95,000 students head back to school Monday in the San Diego Unified School District, the state's second largest district.
One of the new policies this year that parents need to be aware of is the "Phone Free Policy" which applies to TK-12th grade, which basically requires cell phones be turned off and out of sight during instruction time
The San Diego Unified District policy, which aligns with California's Phone-Free School Act, requires phones to be turned off and stored out of sight, such as in a backpack, during regular school hours. Exceptions are made for before and after school, on buses, during extracurriculars, and in high schools, before the first bell, during lunch, and passing periods.
