Restricting cell phone use has become one of the most significant policy shifts in schools in recent years. In just two academic years, what started as an isolated measure in Florida has grown into a national debate involving nearly three dozen states, as well as educators, parents, and researchers. While it's still too early to determine its full impact, the restrictions have already reshaped the daily routines of millions of students.

Seventeen states and the District of Columbia began this academic year with new limits on student cellphone use, marking one of the fastest-moving trends in American education policy. With the latest additions, a total of 35 states now have laws or rules restricting phones and other electronic devices during the school day.
