• No-phone policy in San Mateo County high schools raises safety concerns (mercurynews.com) — High schoolers in the San Mateo Union High School District, including those in Millbrae, now must keep their phones locked in special pouches throughout the school day. Students say the policy improves focus but raises serious concerns about staying informed and contacting family during emergencies like lockdowns or fights on campus, especially since district guidance on active-threat situations remains unclear.
