Starting in the 2025-26 school year, New York public and charter schools will enforce a comprehensive smartphone ban during school hours. This initiative is part of a larger movement, as many states across the U.S. are implementing similar restrictions. Despite public support for device bans during class, overall support drops for total bans, particularly among parents. The push for such bans is fueled by concerns over enforceability of partial restrictions and a desire for improved focus among students post-pandemic.
New York's upcoming 'bell-to-bell' smartphone ban for public and charter schools exemplifies a growing trend towards full-day restrictions, influenced by enforceability issues.
This ban signifies not just local policy, but a broader national movement, with over half of U.S. states adopting similar smartphone restrictions in schools.
