Alabama is set to implement a statewide ban on student cell phone use in public schools, starting in the 2026-27 school year, aiming to reduce distractions and mitigate social media’s negative impact on student mental health. The FOCUS Act, which passed in committee on February 26, 2025, will impact over 700,000 students. Schools must comply by July 2026, or risk losing funding. The legislation also includes provisions for social media safety education.
