Press Conference

“Our partners in the PTA Council of Baltimore County are working with us to build awareness and educate families on the potential dangers of cellphones and social media for children. Smart phones and school time don’t mix! New this year, 16 BCPS middle and high schools have volunteered to pilot a new program utilizing pouches to restrict cell phone use as a way to reduce distractions and disruptions in the classroom.”
