The survey done by Study.com reveals that teachers are generally in favor of stricter cell phone policies. “Educators, for the most part, love their students, care about them, and really are there to help their students grow and learn, and their most valuable resource is their time,” said Dana Bryson with Study.com.

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — It’s the peak season for rattlesnakes, and experts say to be extra cautious when out and about. Snake removal company Rattlesnake Solutions said they had over 90 calls last week alone. “You have this oasis that people have built. There are places to hide. There are places to drink. There’s free food. So, they come across people a lot,” said owner Bryan Hughes. Hughes says that because of the cooler temperatures, many rattlers typically go out while people enjoy the nice weather.

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Three kennels in Pinal County are under investigation for alleged code violations. The county has rules and restrictions on operating commercial kennels in residential neighborhoods, but currently, their acreage is not big enough to allow them to operate. To operate a commercial kennel to breed dogs, you must have five acres, no building structure within 100 feet of an abutting property, and written consent from at least 75% of neighbors within 300 feet of the property.
