Social Media Ban on K-12 Campuses: Focus on Learning

This new act aims to block access to social media platforms on K-12 school campuses during regular school hours. This means students will not be able to use most popular social media apps on their mobile devices while at school, intending to improve focus and the learning environment. Emergency notifications, such as weather alerts or Amber Alerts, will be the only exceptions.
