California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday became the latest state governor to support a smartphone ban in schools, joining a growing bipartisan movement calling for limiting smartphone use in classrooms.
Similar restrictions are already in place across states like Florida and Indiana. Individual districts and schools elsewhere are enacting their own policies. More could follow. New York Governor Kathy Hochle has said she plans to implement a similar ban next year.
We want to better understand what this policy means for students, parents, and teachers. How is this ban being implemented in the classroom, and how is it being enforced? Has it changed the classroom situation?
We particularly want to hear from people in areas where such bans are already in place.
