 Virginia Tuesday joined a growing number of states that are pushing for cell phone restrictions in public schools, citing concerns over students' academic achievement and mental health. Governor Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order to establish state guidance and model policies for local school systems to adopt by January. Last year, Florida became the first state to crack down on phones in schools with a new law. Indiana and Ohio passed their own laws this year, while several other states have recently introduced what's becoming known as phone-free schools legislation.
