New cell phone legislation
Governor Gray Davis has signed legislation that allows the use of cell phones and pagers in schools. Current law prohibits a school from permitting the use of electronic signaling devices by students while on campus, attending school-sponsored activities, or under the supervision and control of school district employees.
SB 1253 repeals the current law and allows school district governing boards to regulate usage of cell phones or pagers.
