JB Pritzker signed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ilga.gov\/Legislation\/PublicActs\/View\/104-0657\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legislation<\/a>\u00a0Tuesday that will require all districts to have \u201cbell-to-bell\u201d device bans in place before the start of the 2027-2028 school year.<\/p>\n<p>The goal, Pritzker said, is to eliminate the distractions that cellphones and other devices can create so students and teachers can focus their attention on learning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to make sure that every hour of school time can have the greatest possible positive impact,\u201d Pritzker said at a bill signing ceremony at Elgin High School. \u201cWe\u2019re allowing every child to fully learn, participate, ask questions, and build the skills and interpersonal relationships that they need to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ilga.gov\/Legislation\/BillStatus?DocNum=2427&amp;GAID=18&amp;DocTypeID=SB&amp;LegId=162470&amp;SessionID=114\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Senate Bill 2427<\/a>\u00a0requires districts to adopt policies that broadly restrict the use of \u201cwireless communication devices\u201d during school hours. Those include cellphones, laptops, tablets, gaming devices and \u201cwearable\u201d devices such as smartwatches. But they do not include devices that schools or teachers issue to students for educational purposes.<\/p>\n<p>The law requires districts to make exceptions for devices that are needed for medical reasons, for special education purposes or for language translation if a student is an English language learner. Districts may also make exceptions on a case-by-case basis for students who are also caregivers for family members at home.<\/p>\n<p>It also permits districts to exclude a high school student\u2019s lunch and passing periods from the definition of \u201cschool time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The law also prohibits schools from using fines, fees, suspensions or expulsions to enforce the policies unless a student uses a regulated device to engage in some other type of gross disobedience or misconduct that would warrant such discipline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason we made the difference in high school is because you have a lot of students who do dual (high school and college) credit,\u201d Sen. Cristina Castro, D-Elgin, the lead Senate sponsor of the bill, said during the ceremony. \u201cSometimes (they) go part of the day and then go to work. And also, you\u2019re giving them a little bit more responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Suzanne Johnson, superintendent of the U-46 School District in Elgin, said her district implemented a cellphone ban last year. She said it requires elementary school students to leave their devices at home while middle school students have to place them in foam pouches during the school day and high school students are not allowed to use them during instructional time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we did this to help students stay more focused in the classroom, we were pleased to see all the other benefits that followed,\u201d she said. \u201cWhile at first our students were probably hesitant and maybe not so pleased, they quickly adjusted to the new learning environment, and without the distraction of cellphones, students were more engaged, built stronger connections with one another, and once again, laughter and chatter filled our hallways, our cafeterias, and our classrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The law requires school districts to review their policies at least once every three years and to consult with teachers unions, administrators, parents and community members in making revisions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/capitolnewsillinois.com\/\"><em>Capitol News Illinois<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service that distributes state government coverage to hundreds of news outlets statewide.
