Show Notes

Maines governor, Janet Mills, is pushing for a statewide cell phone ban in schools, backed by $350,000 in funding. Schools like Cony High in Augusta have successfully implemented phone-free zones, leading to more engaging classes and improved learning. Other districts are following suit, and a roadmap is being developed. If approved, the ban could start next year, tied to budget talks on tax hikes and affordability aid.
