A statewide ban on student cellphones in New Hampshire schools is being put on hold, at least for the next two days.
A New Hampshire state representative, Rep. Dan Hynes, has proposed a bill (HB 1273) that would ban cellphones in public school classrooms across the state, allowing their use only during emergencies or when permitted by a teacher for educational purposes. The initiative aims to address concerns about distractions and negative impacts on students' mental health and academic performance.

The proposal is set to be discussed in the upcoming legislative session, reflecting a broader national conversation about the role of technology in education.
