The Salem-Keizer School District is expanding its use of Yondr phone pouches – keeping them at seven schools that rolled them out last year, and adding more. Every district high school aside from Roberts and Early College will now use the pouches.

We’re interested in hearing from parents, students and educators about their experience with phone bans and Yondr pouches. If your school had them last year, how did it go? What concerns or questions do you have?
