The Monticello Community School District has had its own version of enforcing the use of cellphones and electronic devices during the school day, but after Governor Kim Reynolds signed a new legislation on April 30, all Iowa school districts must adopt policies banning the use of cellphones during class time. “We’ve had something in place for a while, but have gone away from having students put their phones in caddies or holders,” Superintendent Dr. Brian Jaeger said.

Unfortunately, he struggled on a very difficult course at Bos Landen,” Panther coach Curt Tauke said. In Pella, Johnson carded a round of 107.
