- High Student Compliance: 78% of high schoolers and 89% of middle schoolers had zero cell phone infractions during the first year of the policy. Elementary schools recorded just 11 total infractions.
- Focus on Corrective Action: Most violations were handled with low-level interventions. The top dispositions were warnings, administrative counseling, and device confiscation and return after the school day (with lunch detention and in-school suspension used for repeat middle school offenses).
- Student Feedback: Roughly half of the secondary student population reported feeling less distracted during the day due to a phone-free environment.
