Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell has introduced a new toolkit aimed at regulating cell phone use in schools, developed with the Shah Family Foundation. The toolkit presents three distinct policy frameworks—"bell-to-bell," "off and away," and "limited use"—to address the concerns of educators and the challenges posed by frequent cell phone and social media usage among students. Highlighting data that reveals 72% of high school teachers view cell phone use as problematic, the toolkit aims to provide clarity and best practices for districts across the Commonwealth.
The toolkit outlines three types of policies for cell phone use in schools to guide districts toward better managing students' phone and social media access.
With 72% of high school teachers considering cell phone use a major problem, regulations are critical to improving classroom focus and learning.
The toolkit offers practical frameworks, providing schools flexibility in deciding their policy while addressing parents' concerns and accommodating different age groups.
