(Davenport, IA) -- Students at one Davenport school will have to get through the day without their phones when they return to class this month...
The School District says it's test-piloting a no-phones policy using a program called Yondr.
Each student at Williams Junior High School will be given a pouch to put their phone in that remains locked throughout the school day.
The Yondr program is in 12-hundred schools nationwide. The company says 86-percent using the system see a positive impact in student safety and engagement.
Davenport students return to school August 23rd.
