Assistant Principal Kenneth Christian noticed the increasing issue so he formed a coalition of building staff to start digging into it A survey of Fern Creek teachers showed 97% said cellphone use was their biggest problem in the classroom The coalition began researching different ways Fern Creek could ban cellphones and how far they wanted to take the ban while others have allowed them in hallways and in the lunchroom The Fern Creek staff arrived at the decision for a full day ban with a small exception during lunch time if students need to check messages from parents or employers the school relied on an about $35,000 grant from its alumni association to purchase locking pouches that students are asked to put their phones in each morning There are pouches for each of the school's about 1,600 students along with extras in case they forget theirs at home but their phones can't be seen during the day are there to help students with self-control issues and ensure teachers don't have to act as cellphone police one statistic seemed to show learning was already becoming a higher priority: Fern Creek students had already checked out more library books than they did in the entire first semester last year "our teachers are universally delighted," Nicolas said adding that responses to a survey showed overwhelming satisfaction with the new policy noted improved engagement and a greater level of following directions among students Fern Creek plans to send out student surveys to gauge their sense of belonging as well as evaluate data relating to academic performance and behavior incidents is that they'll see improvements in all those areas "It's becoming a non-issue in terms of things we talk about," she said of cellphones And that’s really what education is supposed to be about."
