Dublin City Schools will implement a new policy banning cell phones during school hours, effective at the start of the upcoming academic year. This decision aims to minimize distractions and enhance the learning environment for students. The policy encourages students to power down their devices or switch them to airplane mode at the beginning of the school day, similar to protocols followed on airplanes.

The announcement was made during the Board of Education meeting on July 7, 2025, where officials discussed the implications of recent state budget provisions. While some budget measures will take effect immediately, others will be implemented in early October.

In addition to the cell phone policy, the meeting highlighted community engagement, particularly the successful Fourth of July celebrations. Board members expressed gratitude to the transportation team for their efforts in organizing the parade and acknowledged the community's spirit during the festivities.

Looking ahead, the district is also making physical improvements to its facilities, including the conversion of baseball and softball fields from grass to turf, which began this week. These changes reflect the district's commitment to providing quality resources for its students and enhancing the overall educational experience.
