74% Informative
California Gov. Gavin Newsom sends letters to school districts urging them to restrict students' use of smartphones on campus.
Move comes amid ongoing nationwide debate about the mental health impacts of social media on children and teens.
Efforts mark a broader push by officials in Utah , Florida , Louisiana and elsewhere to try to limit cellphone use in schools.
A brief survey of South Carolina teachers in May showed 92% supported limiting cellphone access in classrooms.
55% wanted a total ban.
There are also questions about whether to ban cellphones during bus rides or field trips.
“Let’s give back to kids a distraction-free childhood,” state Education Department deputy superintendent says.
