b"In the beginning of the school year, students at San Mateo High School will be receiving their school books and a Yondr pouch. The pouch is the newest technology that creates a phone-free space for artists, students and individuals looking to experience events or classes without the distraction of cellphones. The phone slides into the pouch and is locked through a magnetic device. The assistant principal of the high school ran a pilot project last year with 20 students and decided to do a school-wide, bell to bell program for this school year, keeping the pouch locked until the final bell rings. ABC's Cheri Preston is following and joins Joe."
