Maryland lawmakers push to ban student device use during school hours, with a bill passing the House of Delegates 135-1. The measure, sponsored by Delegate Adrian Boafo, would require students to store away electronic devices from the start of classes through lunch and transitions, with exceptions for health needs, emergencies, or school-issued gear. School leaders could allow use in certain lessons too. The teachers union strongly backs the effort, while local school districts oppose it, arguing it takes away their control over education policies. The bill now heads to Governor Wes Moore for likely approval and rollout in counties starting with the 2027-2028 school year.
