Broward County Public Schools’ new policy banning most cellphone use has received mixed reactions from students, parents, and the school board. A survey conducted in October showed varying opinions on the effectiveness of the policy. During a recent board meeting, members discussed whether to allow cellphone use during lunch and study hall periods, which is currently prohibited. Four board members opposed allowing phone use during lunch, while three supported it, and two did not weigh in. The board decided not to change the policy at this time but agreed to gather more data to assess its impact. Board member Allen Zeman emphasized that while implementing the policy was difficult, the decision to maintain it was not.
