Broward County Schools just put a new tech policy into play that’s sure to shake things up. Starting today, all wireless devices—phones, tablets, laptops, AirPods, and smartwatches—are off-limits from the first bell until the end of the school day, including passing periods and lunch. The goal? A distraction-free environment for our kids to focus on their education.
From August 26 onwards, the policy will be enforced strictly, with disciplinary actions for rule-breakers.
Here’s the scoop: Devices can only be used during instructional time if specifically allowed by a teacher. It’s all about helping kids ‘Disconnect to Reconnect’ and boost their learning.
