VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Virginia Beach Public School leaders are set to vote on updating their cell phone policy to reflect Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin's executive order during Tuesday's meeting.

Council members will hear recommendations on policies reflecting phone-free education policies. Tuesday's meeting is scheduled to run from 3:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. You can find information on how to attend and leave public comments on their website.

Norfolk Public Schools recently also voted to completely ban phones from being on a student's person during the school day. Many people have differing opinions according to comments from the Virginia Beach community on Reddit ; some claim that the policy will help children learn, and others are worried about safety concerns, especially in the case of a potential school shooting.

In July, Youngkin signed an executive order to curtail student use of cell phones in public schools.

Youngkin's finalized guidance for cell phone-free education in September — the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) defines cell-phone-free education in Virginia as “bell-to-bell,” meaning cell phones should be turned off and stored away from the first bell at the start of the school day until the dismissal bell.

The guidance states that the cell phone-free guidance will be applied differently based on a child’s school age. That means for elementary school students, a parent will need to determine if a student needs to carry a cell phone with them to school. If the student must bring a cell phone, then it should be stored off and put away during the school day.

For middle school students, a school division would have to establish policies for students to follow. For high school, the guidance states students cannot use their phones during the school day, but they can use them outside of the bell-to-bell instructional time.

The VDOE also said it will be up to school divisions on how they plan to store away student cell phones.
