Tallassee City Schools has essentially had a cellphone ban in place for several years. It required students to keep cellphones off and put away during the school day.

Before last school year, the system invested in Yonder pouches to seal the phones away until unlocked. In the spring, Gov. Kay Ivey signed the FOCUS Act putting legal “teeth” in place to allow school staff and administrators to deal with the distraction of cellphones in juvenile courts.
