Under House Bill 2299, signed by Governor Laura Kelly in March 2026, public schools must store personal devices inaccessible throughout the school day, including lunch. Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools spent $150,000 on lockers for middle and high schoolers, with staff overseeing the process. Supporters highlight better focus and less cheating, while parents worry about emergencies and communication, noting schools route messages through offices with exceptions for medical needs.

No, problem here when I was growing up. We didn't have phones. We did just fine in school. No reason to call your parents during the day. Lock em up...

If they cared about those kids, they'd bury that locker full of phones.

Waste of money, they will give up on it the first time some ratchet gets her phone damaged and sues.

Parents worried about emergencies and communication? It's incredible to what level people's stupidity has progressed.

@uberschadenfreude In their ass. But the P.E. teacher always finds them some how.

We didn't have them back then and turned out much better. We also had private lockers for our books and shit, but my kids didn't. Security concerns now with tranny shooters.

Maybe a compromise could be reached with mesh or plexiglass locker doors. No, that would encourage these macagues and bootlips to smash and grab the phones or tablets stored in plain sight.

Yeah, I know the country isn't as safe as it was, but good lord helicopter parents! The OFFICE knows where your child is unless they are skipping
school. Need to reach your kid? CALL THE OFFICE! :angry:

Good, no more Snapchat news flashes. Those kids need some discipline, and it’s about time they learned something or finally faced some consequences at least. Hate these small pests, and their 6-7 stupidity.
