    What you need to know about Illinois' new cellphone ban in schools

    Illinois will implement a cellphone ban in schools starting the 2027-28 school year, prohibiting devices like phones, tablets, and smartwatches in classrooms. The legislation, now awaiting Governor JB Pritzker’s approval, aims to reduce distractions and improve academic performance, with exemptions for school-issued devices. It received bipartisan support alongside another bill limiting social media algorithms for children.
