BREAKING NEWS: (NOT REALLY) Senate Bill 68, signed into law by Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe on July 9, 2025, requires all Missouri public and public charter schools to ban student use of personal electronic devices, including cell phones, tablets, and smartwatches, during the school day. This means that starting with the 2025-2026 academic year, students will not be allowed to use these devices during instructional time, lunch, breaks, or transitions between classes. Th bill was designed to reduce distractions in the learning environment.
Missouri just passed a law banning student cell phone use during the school day… starting 2025-2026 school year. 😱
Avenue City School District’s response?
Cute. We’ve been doing that for YEARS.
Welcome to the party, Missouri. You’re only… what… a decade late? 📵😂
