Get Rid of the Cell Phone Ban

Starting August 31, 2026 we came back to school to a different type of school environment. This is because Rhode Island has a new state law (R.I. Gen. Laws § 16-21-43) that requires every public school and charter school to enforce a policy prohibiting students from having physical access to their cell phones during the school day.

Of course we all knew that teachers and staff at Toll Gate, and other schools had been praying for the moment for years, but students, including me, were very scared of the outcome it could have on their own communities, and daily life. Over the summer I know I certainly had anxiety because I had heard lots of horror stories about Yondr pouches.
