Broward County School Board passes cellphone ban for students
MIAMI - The Broward County School Board passed tighter restrictions for cellphone by students on Tuesday afternoon.
According to the school district, restrictions on cellphone use were already a part of the Student Code of Conduct.
On Tuesday, the board approved changes to some of the language. For example, instead of putting the phone on silent, it must now be on airplane mode.
Additionally, it must remain as such from the opening bell to the closing bell, instead of allowed use during lunch and in between classes.
The superintendent plans to meet with principals to figure out how this policy will be implemented on each campus for the upcoming school year.
