Los Angeles school officials are considering banning cellphones during the school day to address distractions like social media and cyberbullying, aiming for improved learning and more meaningful communication.
The proposal aims to involve experts, labor partners, staff, students, and parents in developing policies, including using technology like cellphone lockers and access blockers to enforce the ban.
Parents are divided, as some see cellphones as essential for safety and communication, while school administrators express concerns about enforcing the ban effectively.
The initiative was spearheaded by LAUSD board member Nick Melvoin and co-sponsored by board President Jackie Goldberg and board member Tanya Ortiz Franklin.
