One school’s cell phone ban offers preview into how students, administrators may adapt to new law
Brewer High School implemented a cell phone ban in January 2024, requiring students to store devices in a caddy during school hours. The policy aims to improve classroom engagement and social interactions, though some students argue it is unnecessary. Maine’s statewide bell-to-bell cell phone ban, set to take effect in fall 2025, has sparked mixed reactions among students and administrators.
