Madison School Board Grapples With Phone Restriction Policy

Madison schools have less than two months to implement a district-wide cell phone policy, under a new state law that earned Governor Evers’ signature last fall. But the proposal presented at Monday’s school board meeting garnered mixed responses, with community advocates saying it isn’t strict enough and some board members worrying that it would worsen racial disparities in discipline.
