Read this entry with one caveat
Randolph publishes the rule at district level and sends families to individual school handbooks for consequences and procedures, so those fields are unverified here.

How phones are stored
A local choice, not a state oneWe have not found a source that states how this district stores devices during the day.
Devices must be "powered off" and "stored and out of sight". The district page names no specific storage system and defers building-level procedure to each school's handbook.
