 * Information On My Bill: ** Our bill is allowing cell phones during school for emergency calls. We will give all kids in public schools a cell phone to reach a parent or gaurdian. Although, most people think this would be a distraction during education hours, all phones only have calling, and no texting is on the phones. They will have certain minutes each month, and be able to reach parents/gaurdians.
