Thank you for considering important legislation that would clarify that local school divisions have the power to adopt policies to protect students from harmful devices and online content during crucial classroom hours. At the ExcelinEd National Summit on Education last November, guests heard research from Dr. Jonathan Haidt who has extensively researched the impacts of phones and social media on kids and the impacts have been detrimental. Please see the attachment for research and information about the negative impacts of phone-based childhoods and distractions during the school day. Thank you for your consideration; ExcelinEd in Action supports this legislation.
