While he supports a proposed statewide cell phone ban, Clinton School Superintendent Drew Goebel notes not much would change for the district.

The State of Illinois is considering a ban on cell phones in schools and Goebel reminds, this is a policy that is in effect at the junior high and high school. 

Goebel calls the bill common sense and reminds, Clinton was one of the first to put a cell phone ban in place when they did so at the junior high just a few years ago.

Coming up on the final week of session in Springfield, some school leaders anticipate the legislation to pass. Many educators hope the State will allow them to make decisions that are best for their districts and not have an over-the-top mandate.
