cell phone ban

Florida School District Takes Cell Phones Away

When suspensions for cell phone usage during class didn’t stop the abuse of texting during school, Escambia Co School District changed their policy. The school system now confiscates the cell phones and calls the parents of the student to come and pick up the phones.

Parents like having their kids carrying cell phones during school in case there is a need for the student to contact their parents. But when kids began texting all class long, something had to be done. The schools began suspending students which led to 2,000 suspensions and the kids didn’t stop using their phones.

The new policy has had some parents concerned about their kids not having cell phones but it has worked. Middle school use of phones during class has declined 83% while high school use has dropped by 66%. Banning cell phones all together is not allowed as state law prohibits out right banning. But the current policy is permitted.

Oregon Drives No Longer Allowed to Drive and Hold Cell Phones

The Oregon legislature took a step closer to banning the use of handheld cell phones by drivers in Oregon today according to OregonLive.com. Six other states on the West Coast have also outlawed handheld cell phones while driving due to accident rates from talking and/or texting from behind the wheel. The Oregon House passed their version of the bill at the end of April with the Senate adding in an exception for emergency workers today. The bill narrowly passed 16-13.

Angela Tucker

The bill was inspired by Angela Tucker who died in 2007 when a driver hit her car while talking on their cell phone. Fines will be $90 if a driver is found in violation of the law once it is passed. Hands Free device users will be allowed to use their phones while driving.
