To promote a safe, focused, and distraction-free learning environment, Norris City-Omaha-Enfield CUSD #3 is updating its expectations regarding student use of personal wireless communication devices.
Illinois Senate Bill 2427 has passed the General Assembly and would require Illinois public school districts and charter schools to adopt policies restricting student use of personal wireless communication devices during the school day. NCOE is taking steps during the 2026–2027 school year to prepare for these statewide requirements.
For purposes of the NCOE policy, restricted devices include:
• Cell phones

• Personal or unauthorized laptops
• Gaming devices
• Wireless earbuds and similar devices
These expectations apply throughout the regular school day while students are on school property, including:
• Instructional time

NCOE High School
• Cell phones must be powered off when students enter the building.
• At the beginning of each class, students will place their cell phones in the designated classroom phone caddie.
• Phones will remain in the caddie during class.
• Students participating in approved open campus may take and use their phones after leaving school property.
• Students may take their powered-off phones with them when changing classrooms but must immediately place them in the assigned caddie upon entering the next classroom.

• At the beginning of each class, students will place their phones in an assigned, numbered pocket in the classroom’s wall-mounted holder.
