Vermont Cellphone Ban in Schools Advances Through Senate; What that Means for Your Kids

  • Vermont's State Senate approved a bill on May 27, 2025, advancing a school cellphone ban to be implemented statewide in the 2026-2027 school year.
  • This measure follows growing state actions banning phone use in schools, with 26 states already enacting laws and 17 states passing bills in 2025 alone.
  • The Vermont policy would prohibit social media platforms like Instagram for school communication, favor district-approved alternatives, and requires the Agency of Education to prepare implementation plans by year-end.
  • Mike McRaith of the Vermont Principals Association highlighted benefits such as reduced bullying and a more positive school atmosphere, noting that there are platforms created to help schools implement oversight more effectively.
  • Opponents, including students like Bryan Doucette, argue enforcement will be difficult and that bans are overly controlling, suggesting engagement strategies over restrictions as more effective.
