Minnesota Senate Proposes Statewide Cell Phone Ban in Schools

Minnesotas Senate is pushing for a statewide ban on cell phones and personal devices for students in eighth grade and younger during school hours. The bill, Senate File five zero eight, also aims to prohibit high schoolers from using them in class. The measure aims to improve learning environments and campus safety, following a D grade on a national report for weak cell phone rules. Nineteen states and Washington, D.C. already have similar restrictions, with North Dakota sharing gold standard status with one other state. The bills fate hangs in the balance as the legislature runs until mid-May.
