Indiana Senate Clears School Cellphone Bill

      The Indiana Senate has passed a bill to tighten school cellphone restrictions, requiring public schools to adopt a ban on student cellphone use during the school day.
      The legislation offers two enforcement models: a “no device policy” or a “secure storage policy.”
      While some senators support the bill citing improved student outcomes, others raised concerns about safety, costs, and enforcement.
