On July 9, 2024, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin signed an Executive Order mandating cell phone restrictions in public schools during instructional hours. This action is based on growing evidence that cell phone and social media use can negatively impact students' academic success and mental well-being. As a response, and in alignment with state guidance, Hampton City Schools (HCS) will adopt a comprehensive "cell phone-free education" policy, effective January 6, 2025, the first day students return from winter break.
