At least one Kansas district is projecting $150,000 to $180,000 just to equip secondary students with individual phone lockers, according to the Wichita Eagle. The state provided zero dedicated funding. Every dollar comes from local budgets.
Districts choosing fabric locking pouches — think Yondr, the magnetic-lock system concert venues use to keep audiences present — face an estimated $30 per unit. Statewide, the Kansas Division of the Budget put that figure at roughly $13.4 million if every student received one, according to the Lawrence KS Times. Lockers require a steeper upfront investment. Neither option came with a state check attached.
Legislators passed the policy. The price tag was someone else’s problem.

Classified areas don’t allow phones but classified areas are usually a subset of a company or something that does allow them outside the secure area.
People who do certain govt work. Makes dealing with MFA the biggest pain in the ass.
There are defense contractors that will not allow an item that emits a frequency into sensitive areas, including your key FOB.
My brother in law worked at the BMW plant and they weren’t supposed to have their phones on the floor at all.
It turns out that operating industrial production equipment while distracted is a huge safety liability.
