If Ohio lawmakers have their way, every school district in the state will have a cellphone policy by the end of the next school year.
That's according to a survey conducted by the Lorain City School District in northeast Ohio, Cleveland.com reports.
The survey of staff and students found that students and teachers in the district have very different views on the use of cellphones and social media.
For instance, 81% of staff say they don't use their phones during class, while only 1 in 4 do so for "simple background music, leaning applications, or research," according to the district.
Students, on the other hand, say the phones help or hurt their learning at 37% and 73%, respectively.
"Our current policy allows us to be restrictive," the district's superintendent tells Cleveland.com.
"So, I believe our current policy would fit the expectations of the state."
The survey also found that 2% of students need to use their phones during class.
