Also known as: phone-free campus, cell-phone-free school

A phone-free school removes personal phone access during instructional time to reduce distraction, cheating, and social-media-driven conflict. "Phone-free" typically means the whole school day ("bell-to-bell"), though some policies restrict only class time.

Schools make a campus phone-free in different ways: magnetic pouches, lockers, classroom caddies, or software that locks the device at the operating-system level. The common thread is that compliance does not depend on each teacher policing phones individually.
