North Texas School District Implementing Policy Requiring Cellphones to Be Turned Off During the Day

  • Wake County School Board plans to finalize its first districtwide cellphone policy with a final vote scheduled for Tuesday night at 5:30 p.m.
  • Driven by distraction concerns, months of surveys and focus groups prompted Wake County to develop the districtwide cellphone policy.
  • In practice, the policy mandates storing phones in lockers or backpacks, bans elementary and middle school use with high school exceptions, and allows staff to confiscate noncompliant devices.
  • DeSantis signed a bill on Friday banning cellphones in elementary and middle schools statewide, with restrictions for high school students during class time, reinforcing the national trend.
  • Across the country, school systems are increasing restrictions on cellphones, with North Carolina bills pushing for mandatory policies like Wake County's final vote.
