For many schools across the Midlands, Jan. 7 will be the first day back from winter break. That means South Carolina’s new law banning cell phones in public school classrooms will take full effect.
The Palmetto State joins others across the U.S. in an effort to keep children free from distractions during the school day.
The new law that prohibits the use of cell phones in classrooms will be the first time students face this level of restriction. The S.C. Department of Education calls the initiative “free to focus,” aiming at eliminating distractions in the classroom.
