Summary
Florida’s Broward County Public Schools, one of the nation’s largest districts, implemented a cellphone ban across the school day, sparking debate among students, parents, and teachers. The ban affects over 200,000 students.
Proponents, including board member Lori Alhadeff, a Parkland victim’s mother, argue the ban improves focus and safety.
Critics of the ban raise safety concerns, particularly in light of the 2018 Parkland shooting, where cellphones played an important role in communication.
