Davis School District Reviews Cell Phone Policies 

The Davis School District is evaluating cell phone usage in secondary schools, with a mix of approaches currently in place. While some schools allow cell phones in classrooms under teacher supervision, most permit their use in hallways, lunch periods, and before or after school hours.

Community input has been key, with 58% of councils actively shaping policies. Teachers report varying levels of phone-related issues, and studies highlight the negative impact of excessive phone use on students' mental health and focus.

Opinions differ on policy effectiveness: 73% of administrators see improvements in learning and safety, but some prefer policies tailored at the school level, while others lean toward district-wide guidelines.

District leaders value local control to address diverse needs and are mindful of potential legislation. Student voices suggest that less phone use might ultimately enhance both academics and social experiences.

Nearly 200 Underage Patrons Found in Sugar House Bar Raid 

A Utah investigation uncovered 186 underage individuals at Sugar House Pub, sparking calls for stricter enforcement. Multiple DUIs had previously linked the bar to underage drinking. Over 50 fake IDs were seized, and the bar faces administrative review for compliance failures. Authorities and locals stressed the importance of safeguarding youth and improving age-verification measures.

🤼‍♀️ Viewmont Heavyweight Star Shines in Perfect Dual Meet Run 

Mack Youngberg, a heavyweight wrestler from Viewmont High School, achieved an impressive feat at a recent multi-school dual meet hosted by Davis High. Youngberg competed against wrestlers from six different schools and emerged victorious in every match. His dominating performance highlighted both his skill and determination in the sport. The event brought together top competitors from the region, showcasing high levels of talent and sportsmanship.
