The Republican governor called for policies restricting cell phone use in schools in an executive order Tuesday.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin called for policies restricting cellphone use in schools in an executive order Tuesday, citing rising concerns about the effects of phone usage and social media on youth mental health.
The debate over smartphones in schools has been ongoing for years. Educators have long complained about students texting, scrolling and playing games during class, leading some to implement their own classroom bans — having students check in or stow away cellphones during class time. Some schools and districts have also taken their own approaches using tech products, like magnetic pouches that can lock students’ devices for the day.
The order directs the education department to host listening sessions for parent and stakeholder input on what approaches are the best for Virginia. The department will then issue guidance of the best practices and policies that school districts can implement. The education department should have final guidance ready in September for school districts to start to adopt the cellphone policies by Jan. 1. The guidance is not a hard requirement.
