Cell Phone Policy Survey Results
This fall, Hopkins surveyed families, students and staff on how they felt about cell phone use in schools by students. Survey results revealed a strong desire for clear guidelines to reduce distractions and promote learning while balancing the need for communication. This input will help us carefully craft policies that serve students of all ages, which must be completed by March 2025 per the Minnesota legislature.
Cell Phone Policy Survey results revealed:
- A strong desire among staff and families for clear guidelines, especially for younger students, to reduce distractions and promote learning while balancing the need for emergency communication.
- Older students expressed very specific views on the ability to access their cell phones during the day.
