Pa. may ban cellphones in schools. Some Delco and Hershey educators say they’re already seeing results — without pouches

A bipartisan bill aiming to ban cellphone use during the school day in Pennsylvania's K-12 schools nearly passed, but lawmakers failed to agree on a final version. Radnor High School and Hershey High School implemented bell-to-bell cellphone bans without requiring lockable pouches. Educators at these schools reported positive outcomes, noting improved social interactions and a reduction in conflicts.
