Boys swing on a rope during recess at Western Academy in Houston, where cellphones will be “destroyed” if found.

Under the new policy, which Hebert laid out in a four-page letter to parents last month, after the device is discovered and destroyed, the boy will be suspended. If it happens again, the boy will be automatically expelled.
