Virginia Senate Democrats introduced legislation Thursday to restrict cellphone use in schools, furthering a move made by Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) to limit the amount of time children spend on the devices.
The legislation comes days after the Virginia Department of Education released final guidance recommending that school districts adopt policies that restrict cellphone use on school grounds from “bell to bell.” Currently, many schools allow students, particularly in high schools, to use the devices between classes and during lunch.
