An Act To Ban Cellular Telephones From Public School Classrooms

This bill, LD 1234, requires all Maine public schools to adopt policies banning students from having cell phones in classrooms. Schools must include exceptions for emergencies, such as contacting parents or emergency services. The ban applies only to classrooms, not other school areas like hallways or cafeterias, so students may still use phones on school grounds outside of class. The policy change directly affects students and school administrators in Maine's public school system.
