60% of schools in our state already have some kind of phone policy in place. What's your reaction to that and how important is it for that other 40% to get on board before next summer? Yeah, We passed a law and said, hey, schools need to have a cell phone policy. We gave them until next July to comply. But 61% of school districts have already complied. Many of these policies include outright bans. Other of them have limited use times, maybe only at lunch, limited access to phones. (00:17–00:25)
