@futurebird@sauropods.win I donβt buy the safety thing, though. Thatβs what the office phone has always been for, every individual kid doesnβt need to keep their finger on the pulse of the world

There are many reasons why students may need to have their phones on them.
As well as emergencies, like @futurebird@sauropods.win wrote, consider a kid with diabetes who uses their phone to control their artificial pancreas or a hard-of-hearing kid whose phone links to their hearing aides.
They should be able to keep their phones without having to argue for exemptions (and some particularly badly-designed cell phone bans have not even included those).
