Good morning, Davis.
Davis Joint Unified is set to ban cell phone use across all campuses (covering early kindergarten through grade 12) starting this fall.
The DJUSD Board of Education approved an 'Away for the Day' mobile device policy for elementary and junior high schools to begin fall 2026 and will develop a detailed high school plan by June 4 (to ease staff enforcement) following the Phone-Free Schools Act.
UC Davis researcher Jawdat Al-Bassam and his team have mapped a cellular process behind rare childhood genetic disorders called chaperone tubulinopathies in two papers (May 8 Science Advances, Dec.
