Akron Public Schools is looking to lock up more students’ cellphones this fall.

The school board on Monday will vote on a lease and service agreement with Yondr Inc. for 10,446 locking cellphone pouches and accessories.

The agreement would be for three years, at a cost of $180,636 the first year and $141,021 for the following two school years. The first year would use federal stimulus dollars, but the second and third year spending would come from the district’s general fund.
