📰 News we're reading

• A 'bell-to-bell' cellphone ban looms over Pa. schools. Where does your school district stand? (lehighvalleylive.com) — Easton Area School District currently has no formal cellphone ban, even as its teachers union president and school board leaders publicly support a statewide, bell-to-bell prohibition. As Harrisburg debates a compromise bill, nearby districts are already enforcing stricter rules, from full bans to in-class phone caddies. Easton families may see state-level changes that reshape daily classroom routines soon.
   

• Parkland football bounces back in old-school style, whips Freedom 41-21 (centredaily.com) — Parkland's 41-21 win over Freedom sets up a big road game at Easton next week, a rematch of last year's District 11 6A final on Easton's home field. Star running back TJ Lawrence, who once broke his fibula against Easton, powered the victory with 257 rushing yards. Easton fans can expect a high-stakes, emotionally charged showdown.
