Cell Phones In Classrooms? Restrictions Coming

California is one step away from cracking down on cell phones in class. 

Legislators in Sacramento have passed a bill  that requires school districts limit when students can use their phones on campus or ban phones altogether. 

School districts would be given until July 2025 to put policies in place and must update those policies every five years. 

Governor Gavin Newsom is expected to sign the bill. 

Newsom has already called for a statewide ban on cell phones in schools, saying children should be fully engaged and free from distractions and pressures of social media.

By the way, you can have a cell phone plan that only allows phone calls and texts and does not offer students access to social media or other internet-based content.
