TAKE ACTION
Phone Free Schools Legislation - Sign the Letter of Support
The MA Coalition for Phone Free Schools is working to pass legislation that would require:
Personal electronic devices are turned off, securely locked away, and inaccessible to students from “first bell to last bell,” and while students are being supervised by district staff. (exceptions for medical needs and IEP plans).
Prohibition of integrating social media platforms into student education and communications for school-to-student or after-school programs run by the school district. However, this does not prevent a school from using social media for non-student community communication and school-to-parent/guardian communication.
PAST EVENTS
On May 8, 2025, ReConnect Western MA presented to the School Committee about an all day phone free policy at NPS.
The public comment at minute 28:30 from former NHS math teacher is a brilliant example of why these policies are essential for our students and teachers! The RCWMA presentation starts at 1:30:20.
RCWMA is updating our powerpoint presentation so that other parents and teachers advocating for change can adapt it to their particular needs!
