· KRGV (NBC 5)
Governor Greg Abbott has proposed further restrictions on screen time in K-12 schools, aiming to enhance student learning. This initiative builds on the recent ban of cell phones in public school classrooms. Abbott cited studies suggesting that reduced screen time correlates with better academic performance and emphasized the importance of physical materials like books and direct teacher instruction. While specific guidelines for screen limits across grades were not detailed, Abbott's proposal will be addressed by the Legislature next year. Texas schools have already seen positive outcomes from the cellphone ban, including improved class participation and reduced bullying.
