Today, Senator Kristin Corrado’s (R-40) bill that would require the New Jersey Department of Education to develop a cell phone and social media policy to be adopted in schools passed the New Jersey Senate.

“In today’s day and age, cell phones and social media have advanced far from their original concepts and, unfortunately, have been widely reported as heavy contributors to the youth mental health crisis,” said Sen. Corrado. “With this policy, students will be able to better focus on their schoolwork and we can help ensure our children do not fall victim to the perils of social media at such a young age.”
