## Resource

On Monday, the MMSD School Board voted 5-2 for a district-wide cell phone policy. Starting this fall, cell phones will be banned all day for students in grades K-8 and all-day except for during lunch for high school students. To talk about kids’ cell phone and technology use, host Ali Muldrow is joined by two guests, Amy Martino and Jacqui Shore. Featured image of two teens using cell phones via Picryl.
