PHONE-FREE LEARNING
ACROSS CALIFORNIA
Educators around the world are seeing the damaging effects of phones on student engagement, social development, and mental health. Yondr is proud to work with districts in California to help students experience the focus, creativity, and relief that comes with a phone-free education.
Ready for California's Phone-Free School Act (AB 3216)?
The Phone-Free School Act (AB 3216) requires California public schools and charter schools to implement policies limiting or prohibiting student phone use by July 1, 2026.
By July 2026, every California district must:
Seek input from key stakeholders on policy guidelines
Establish a phone-use policy that applies to all schools and all grades K-12
Tailor implementation plans to the unique needs of each school
Include exemptions for students with health needs or those in specific educational programs, as well as for emergency situations
Learn more about the legislation in our detailed blog post.
We’ve partnered with many California districts to successfully implement phone-free environments. Thousands of schools nationwide trust Yondr daily—why not yours?
