A South Dakota bill to ban cell phones in classrooms failed in the House, leaving phone policies to local districts.
A proposed statewide ban on cell phones in South Dakota public school classrooms failed in the House Education Committee, with an 8-7 vote, despite passing the Senate.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Chris Karr, aimed to restrict phones during school hours except for medical, educational, or emergency needs.
Opponents, including state education leaders, argued that local school districts are already effectively managing phone use through existing policies.
Supporters cited inconsistent enforcement and classroom distractions.
The decision reflects ongoing debate over balancing student well-being with local control, leaving phone policies to individual districts.
