THE GRAND FORKS HERALD HAD A WRITE UP ON SCHOOL CELL PHONE POLICIES, WHICH HAVE TO BE ADOPTED BY MARCH OF 2025, BUT MANY SCHOOLS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THAT BEFORE THIS SCHOOL YEAR BEGAN. MOST POLICIES INVOLVE ONE OF TWO MAIN POINTS: EITHER CELL PHONES PUT AWAY ALL DAY, OR CELL PHONES ALLOWED ONLY DURING PASSING TIME BETWEEN CLASSES. LOCALLY, WE HAVE SEEN DISTRICTS UTILIZE BOTH OF THOSE AS WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR SCHOOLS. 70% OF TEACHERS THAT WERE PART OF A NATIONAL STUDY REPORTED CELL PHONE USE IN CLASS AS A MAJOR PROBLEM.
A PICKUP TRUCK PULLING A CAMPER ROLLED ON HIGHWAY 2 YESTERDAY MORNING JUST EAST OF BAGLEY. IT APPEARED TO BE THE ONLY VEHICLE INVOLVED, AND ONLY MINOR INJURIES WERE REPORTED.
THE MARSHALL COUNTY CENTRAL SCHOOLS SAID THEY ALREADY ENCOUNTERED THEIR FIRST SCHOOL BUS STOP ARM VIOLATION OF THE YEAR. THEY REMIND MOTORISTS THAT BUSSES ARE MOSTLY EQUIPPED WITH CAMERAS ON THOSE STOP ARMS TO CAPTURE VEHICLE INFORMATION AND IT WILL BE SHARED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT.
