Pennsylvania's Senate approved a bill encouraging school districts to implement a pilot program banning students' cellphone use during the school day to enhance mental health and academic performance. The bill, passed 45-5, allows grants for districts to purchase locking bags for phones, with exemptions for medical reasons. Sponsored by Sen. Ryan Aument, the bill emphasizes limiting phone use for mental well-being and academic improvement. Similar legislation promoting school cellphone bans is emerging in other states, such as Florida and California.
