Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

This just gives our school teachers ONE more thing to do! This generation has already asked them to raise our kids! Why don't you just take care of the cellphone problem at home!

There are times that they shouldn't have them but check them at the door of class rooms to cut back on the use. Emergencies do happen and cells are useful

I agree but there are other age appropriate options for safety.

ODOT, and other state agencies need to live within a reasonable budget and the state needs to stop raising taxes!

ODOT Leadership is totally incompetent! They spend a billion dollars they don’t have and come to the taxpayers to bail them out. As far as increasing gas tax and registration fees we already pay.40 cents per gallon and our gas prices are $2 per gallon more than the rest of the country. No more mone!

We need a 'No Camp Zone ' radius around urban and sub urban areas and then have a few managed campsites within the new limit. Only 2 options. The risk to property owners and the option to live on the fringe is not right. Not a problem before 2020 and it's over time to get back to before.
