Summary
Missouri school leaders remain split on whether the state’s 2025 ban on students’ personal electronic devices is improving classrooms.
KY3’s Steve Grant and The Beacon Kansas City reporter Maria Benevento highlighted those differing views in a discussion centered on how well the law is working.
The law bars personal electronic devices, including cell phones, making its classroom impact the main point of debate among educators.
The divide underscores that Missouri’s statewide phone restrictions are still being judged less by the ban itself than by uneven views of its effectiveness.
