Middle and high school students who attend Portland Public Schools will not be allowed to use their cellphones or smartwatches during the school day and will face uniform and escalating consequences for violations under a districtwide policy approved 5-2 by the school board Tuesday.

The policy comes amid a wave of crackdowns on cellphone use across the state and country. It’s notable because it bans cellphone use even during passing periods and lunchtime.
