Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS) trustees voted Thursday to enact an “away-for-the-day” cell phone policy districtwide for grades K-8 starting this fall. The policy will require students in those grades to power off their phones and keep them stored away for the entire school day. Trustees were divided on applying such a policy to high school students, however, ultimately agreeing to study the issue further while meanwhile implementing a consistent system at TC Central and TC West that will require students to keep phones in storage sleeves during class but remain free to use them between periods and during lunch.
