PROVIDENCE — When Aliaksei Shostak first competed on trampoline in the USA Gymnastics finals in Providence in 2016, he experienced his first “Olympic heartbreak,” falling short of qualifying for Brazil that summer. But the experience “lit a fire” in him, and he went on to make it to the the 2020 and 2024 Olympics in Tokyo and Paris.

The Senate passed an identical bill last month, also unanimously. The legislation requires school districts to come up with a policy by next summer to ban phones and other personal electronic devices during the school day, but it leaves the specifics — including enforcement — up to local school officials.

For some, getting a reservation to go inside the shop that created the original Cape Cod bracelet rivaled scoring tickets to a Taylor Swift concert. “It was like the hunger games,” said Kristin O’Toole, a teacher from Wilmington who has five bracelets purchased over many years of Cape trips.
