Students in Delaware may soon have to part ways with their cell phones during school hours as the General Assembly has approved funding for a pilot program to limit cell phone usage. The program would require students to place their phones in pouches or locked boxes for the entire school day, with participation determined by district applications. Senator Eric Buckson of Dover is a strong supporter of the initiative, believing that removing cell phones from classrooms will have an immediate impact on student performance and behavior.
Despite potential resistance from parents, Sen. Buckson is optimistic about the program’s ability to improve classroom dynamics. The pilot program aims to work out any issues and collaborate with parents to ensure its success. The program has been allocated approximately $300,000 in funding by the General Assembly to test its effectiveness in selected schools or classrooms throughout the state.
