Wicomico County Schools have implemented a new "Bell to Bell, No Cell" policy, which they report is off to a good start.
Salisbury, MD, October 22, 2026 —
Wicomico County Schools have implemented a new policy called “Bell to Bell, No Cell,” and the school system reports that it is off to a good start. The brief update does not provide further details about how the policy is being applied or what measures the district is using to assess its early progress.
Information about when the policy took effect, which students or school settings it covers, and what restrictions it places on cellphone use was not provided. The district’s procedures for handling violations, including any consequences, were also not specified.
The update does not include comments from students, families, teachers or school administrators beyond the school system’s assessment that the start has been positive. It also does not cite survey results, disciplinary data or other measures that would show how the policy is working.
As a result, the reported positive start is the only assessment available in the information provided. The update does not explain whether the district plans to publish additional details or review the policy’s effects over time. Further information about the policy’s rules, implementation and evaluation was not included.
