Virginia Executive Order 33: Phone-Free Education Excellence for the Commonwealth

Virginia’s Executive Order 33 establishes cell phone-free education standards across the Commonwealth. From Fairfax County to rural Southwest Virginia, superintendents need solutions delivering both compliance and long-term value.

Commonwealth Standards Demand Premium Solutions

Virginia’s commitment to educational excellence requires tools matching that standard. Fabric pouches fall short:

• Professional Appearance: Fabric stains and tears undermine district image
• Reliability: Lock pins bend, creating compliance gaps
• Economics: Subscription models drain budgets year after year
• Student Trust: Opaque design increases device anxiety

Virginia districts deserve better than recurring mediocrity.
