Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer Proposes Bipartisan Legislation to Regulate Student Phone Use in Classrooms

Published on 4.23.25

  The growing concern over cellphone use in schools has led to a surge in efforts to regulate its impact on student learning and mental health. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is at the forefront of this movement, advocating for bipartisan legislation to restrict phone use during school hours. Some Michigan school districts have already implemented measures to limit phone use, such as requiring students to store their phones in sealed bags during the day. The Delhi government's decision to regulate and monitor smartphone use by students has also fueled this movement, prompted by concerns over the impact of excessive phone use on student mental health and academic performance. Governor Whitmer's proposal aims to address these issues in Michigan schools by implementing policies that regulate phone use. By doing so, educators hope to create a more focused and productive learning environment for students.
