Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said that cellphone use in schools has an "extremely harmful" impact on students.

Districts are taking action. Some districts in Texas have banned cellphone use in classrooms while others have banned cellphone use on school property. And some districts still allow cellphones and haven't taken action against them.

The idea of banning cellphones in Texas public schools received a big endorsement from the state’s top education leader. Will Dupree reports on the endorsement that came this week, which could help this idea become reality.
