CA Phone-Free School Act - Oct 23rd 2024 Town Hall
Article Source: CA State Senator Josh Becker
Dear Friends,
The growing evidence that excessive smartphone use is associated with
harm to a young person’s mental health has led us in the Legislature
and Governor Gavin Newsom to enact the Phone-Free School Act,
a new law requiring schools to develop policies that limit or restrict
cell phone use in public schools. California is at the forefront of a
growing movement to get distracted students off their devices in the
classroom and focused on learning.
To explore this issue further, I invite you to join Senator Henry Stern (Los Angeles) and me for a Virtual Town Hall on October 23.
We will hear from UC Davis Associate Professor Drew Cingel about
the latest research, and best practices on existing school cell phone
policies from high school administrators.
I hope you’ll tune in to learn more about smartphone-free schools and
how students, parents and educators are responding to these new
policies. Click here to RSVP.
Sincerely,
Josh Becker
