Several school districts in Texas have enacted or are considering some type of ban on students having cell phones during the school day.There has been some pushback, including a student protest walkout earlier this year at a Houston-area high school that had enacted a policy requiring students to surrender their phones upon arrival and retrieve them at dismissal.Texas State Rep.
RUDY KOSKI: What role do you think the state should have in helping school districts do this, or is there a role for the state?ELLEN TROXCLAIR: I want to make sure that the state is doing what we can to incentivize all districts to adopt this kind of policy, whether that is passing some kind of statewide bill, but allowing them to put in place the right enforcement or the right mechanism for which to do it, and maybe even adding some extra funding for school districts who do decide to adopt it.
