About Local 12
Description
Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) is committed to enhancing the educational environment for its students by implementing innovative policies geared towards minimizing distractions. A central feature of this initiative is the deployment of Yondr pouches, aimed at allowing students in grades seven through twelve to lock away their cell phones during school hours. With an investment of approximately $501,000 for 16,000 pouches, CPS leaders believe this measure will foster improved academic performance by reducing interruptions from mobile devices.
While some parents express concerns about limited communication access during the day, others support the program, emphasizing the necessity for students to learn self-discipline and focus on their studies. Each high school within the district will implement their own timeline and procedures for the use of these pouches. The initiative, which began with a successful pilot program at Hughes High School, reflects a strategic shift towards prioritizing student engagement and academic success, ultimately aiming for higher graduation rates and enhanced educational outcomes.
