RICHMOND, Va. — Richmond Public Schools announced Tuesday that the district’s cell phone ban will begin once students return from winter vacation in January.
In September, the Virginia Department of Education said that districts across the state needed to have a ban in place by the beginning of 2025, although some districts like Hanover and Petersburg already had the bans in place going into the school year.
On November 20, RPS will host a virtual town hall from 6:30 to 7:30 to discuss the new policies.
