Schools across the United States are increasingly implementing policies to limit student cellphone use during the school day. At the tech-forward Science Leadership Academy in Spring Garden, teachers have taken away students' cell phones, resulting in positive feedback from educators. The Killeen ISD School Board has approved a plan requiring middle and high school students to keep their cell phones in a locked pouch. Similarly, more Florida school districts are restricting cellphone use on campus. In Virginia, some Arlington parents are advocating for an 'away for the day' policy for student cellphone use, while Arlington Public Schools are considering its implementation. The Apache Junction Unified School District has also voted to ban cell phone use by students during the school day, citing it as a distraction. There is also a discussion on whether school districts in San Antonio should adopt similar policies.
