It's a wrap for the 2024-25 school year in Spokane Public Schools, as Tuesday is the last day of instruction in a year of phone-free classrooms in the district. The school district is among the first to adopt restrictions on phone use for its 29,690 pupils, banning cellphones at the start of this school year throughout the school day at the elementary and middle schools, and in classrooms in high schools. High schoolers are still permitted to use their phones between classes and during lunch.

The Spokane City Council rejected Mayor Lisa Brown’s homeless camping proposal that has sparked backlash as a permissive measure that doesn’t match get-tough laws voters want. Voters passed Proposition 1 last fall that outlawed camping within 1,000 feet of schools, parks or playgrounds.
