Wisconsin Could Join Call for Change on Cell Phones in Schools. Focus
Wisconsin Policy Forum
Lawmakers are debating a bill to add Wisconsin to the growing list of states banning K-12 students from using cell phones in schools during instructional time. Of the 309 districts and charter schools responding to a recent survey, most already restrict student cell phone usage to common areas, with smaller districts tending to favor more stringent restrictions. The bans offer potential benefits but enforcement may prove challenging.
