“Can you hear me now?”

This phrase will not be heard this year from students when they return to classes at any of the schools under the supervision of the Durant Independent School District.

While students will now be allowed to carry their cell phones with them on campus, they will not be allowed to use them during school hours. Previously, cell phones were banned.

The change in policy was unanimously approved by the Durant I.S.D. Board of Education at Monday’s monthly meeting.
