A couple of years ago, Clinton Junior High School went to a no cell phone policy in its classrooms.

This year, Clinton High School is trying out a similar policy. Principal Jerry Wayne indicates high school students are not allowed to have cell phones out during class time. Whether they're in a pocket or a cubbie, they are put up during instructional time.

According to Wayne, the goal is for students to be engaged and focused on what is going on in the classroom and not have the distraction of the cell phone. While some students haven't been thrilled about the new policy, he appreciates them following the new rules. 

For Wayne, they are starting to see this policy be the routine for students and looks forward to having better instruction this school year.
