SUMMARY: The debate on cell phone usage in schools centers around whether to make it a national policy or allow individual districts to decide. Recent focus has been on the Laurel School District, which is part of a broader national campaign aiming to enhance grade-level reading. The district, having recently secured a $200,000 grant, is working on improving literacy and addressing students‘ mental health. This initiative includes family engagement and aims to boost kindergarten readiness and third-grade reading proficiency while also reducing chronic absenteeism. The campaign is seen as instrumental in helping students reach their full potential.
