The bill allowed for districts to use their own language? Therefore FCPS is allowing lunch.

I believe middle schools, though, are still away for the day 100%.

I’m thought lunch was included as it keeps being described as bell to bell. It is not bell to bell though in the law’s wording.

Stop spreading misinformation. Lunch is ok at our HS. Passing periods aren’t enough time to use a phone anyway. Big whoop.


You're misinformed. Many kids are glued to their phone during passing periods and are constantly leaving class under the guise of going to the bathroom and then either hiding in the bathrooms or roaming the halls on their phones.

We got an email that said lunch was ok. But not during passing periods.

We're in Loudoun County, and it's enforced pretty strictly, at least in our HS.
