NJ school cell phone ban goes into effect this year

We're talking not just cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, those cool glasses, the metaglasses, all are on that list. Now, the Newark Board of Education released this video ahead of the school year just announcing the new policy. Starting today, Newark students in grades K through 12 will not be allowed to use, again, cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, any of that tech stuff while in school. Now, this is in accordance with the law taking effect statewide this school year. We were here when First Avenue School dismissed for the day today. Kids excited about being back with friends and classmates. Parents, however, weighing in on that ban that's now in place. Take a listen to this. I don't think she would understand what to do with it, but it would be nice to have them to have phones when they get a little older. When they get a better age, put the phone on silent and tuck it away. Just leave it, but when you need it, then use it. Great, that's great. They shouldn't need a phone anyway, right? They should be safe in school. So, Steve, here's how it goes. Students found in violation of the ban can actually lose their privileges of bringing the device to the grounds in period, just altogether for the rest of the school year. But that's the reaction we had here in Newark.
