Indiana Cell Phone Bill Goes to Braun for Signature

Legislation to keep cellphones out of Hoosier students' hands for the entire school day is headed to Governor Mike Braun.  The bill will  require school districts and charter schools across Indiana to adopt policies prohibiting most student cellphone use from the start of the school day until dismissal.  Bill author Sen. Jeff Raatz, says the "bell-to-bell" restriction is aimed at reducing ever-growing distractions in classrooms.  Supporters say that restricting phones throughout the school day will improve student focus and reduce disruptions.
