Gov. Reynolds issues statement on Iowa House passing bill to restrict cell phone use in classrooms
DES MOINES— Today, Governor Kim Reynolds released the following statement in response to the Iowa House passing HF 782, a bill limiting student access to electronic devices in schools during instructional hours:
“Digital distractions are at an all-time high, disrupting focus, learning, and productivity in our classrooms,” Gov. Reynolds said. “Iowa students deserve to learn free from the disruption of personal electronic devices to fully focus on their education. We’ve seen tremendous progress in student behavior and engagement at our schools that have already implemented such policies. I look forward to signing this bill, allowing every Iowa student to once again prioritize learning.”
