Pennsylvania is moving toward a statewide “bell-to-bell” cellphone ban in public schools. The state Senate and House of Representatives have advanced companion bills that would require students in grades K-12 to keep cellphones turned off or stored away in lockers, backpacks or designated classroom storage pouches for the entire school day. Josh Shapiro wants them to agree on a final version and send it to his desk for signing. The goal is to reduce digital interruptions, improve students’ engagement with classroom lessons, increase face-to-face interactions and reduce conflicts that play out on social media during school hours.
