Bill Proposed to Limit Cell Phone Use in Vermont Schools

Posted: Updated:
MONTPELIER, Vt. -

A new bill being considered at the Vermont State House would limit cell phone use in Vermont public schools.

According to the bill, H.282, students would be prohibited from using cell phones or similar devices while classes are in session.

Under the bill, each school district would have to develop a policy on cell phones. Exceptions can be made by the school district like cell phone use during lunch or non-classroom times or as teacher-directed component of a learning experience.

FOX 44 and ABC 22 reporter David Hodges will have more on this story tonight on ABC22 at 6, 7 p.m. and on FOX44 at 10 p.m.

The bill is currently in the Vermont Education Committee.
