Connecticut Governor and Attorney General visit Illing Middle School to promote a pilot program using "Yondr pouches" to restrict cellphone use in classrooms and improve student engagement.
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and Attorney General William Tong visited Illing Middle School to highlight a pilot program using "Yondr pouches" to keep cellphones out of classrooms, aiming to reduce distractions and improve student engagement. Lamont seeks legislation under Senate Bill 14 to create a model policy for cellphone use in public schools, which could address anxiety and aberrant behavior linked to social media use among students. The initiative follows a pilot program at Illing Middle School, where students are required to store their cell phones in pouches with magnetic locks during the school day.
