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. We had all heard about the phone ban last year, but I don’t think anyone really believed it was going to happen. 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.

T here's a passel of appointments awaiting confirmation already , and more appointees yet to be named for two openings on the Superior Court. There's also a new District Court chief who needs to be named, with controversial former Sen. Stephen Archambault competing against four sitting judges. The most significant is the appointment of Superior Court Judge Luis Matos to the five-member Rhode Island Supreme Court, which McKee announced in August a nd then held back until after the election so the 60-day time limit for legislative consideration would not run out while the lawmakers were out of session and otherwise engaged in their efforts to win reelection.
