Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation on Monday giving California school districts two years to ban cellphones during school hours.
The new law is intended to address rising concerns over social media.
It is also targeting children’s mental health.
The Phone-Free Schools Act will take affect July 1, 2026.
More than a dozen states have already passed similar restrictions. (NYT)
I saw a family having dinner in a local restaurant recently.
One of the family members, a young 10 year old girl, was going through her cell looking for news.
I don’t know why the parents allowed her to avoid family conversation.
Cells are an addiction for adults & children alike.
I applaud the banning of cell phones during school hours!
