DC Public Schools to ban cell phone use starting in 2025-26 school year
WASHINGTON () — District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) is continuing to take steps toward banning phones inside its schools. The school division announced Friday that all phones and mobile devices will no longer be allowed in the classroom. The policy will go into effect during the fall of the 2025-26 school year. This means that all phones must be turned off and stored away throughout the school day. All middle schools and several high schools have already begun implementing the policy, and DCPS noted they are seeing positive changes. 'Piloting a phone-free program in our middle schools demonstrated that storing students' personal devices throughout the school day enriches academic, social, and emotional learning,' said DCPS Chancellor, Dr. Lewis D. Ferebee. 'From increased classroom engagement to reduced anxiety and stronger student relationships — DCPS is ready to scale the program so we can keep driving outcomes that positively impact our students.' Fairfax County Public Schools defends new cell phone policy as some question whether it complies with law Despite the new policy, the school district will continue to utilize school-issued devices to integrate technology into a learning experience, and engage students in lessons related to digital literacy. DCPS said that while technology provides learning opportunities, significant challenges arise when it comes to cell phones being present in classrooms. School officials noted that growing research revealed that an increase in smartphones has fueled youth mental health concerns, negatively affected concentration and worsened bullying to include cyber interactions. At least eight states have imposed bans on cell phone use in the classroom, including Florida, New York, Ohio and Virginia. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed the Bell to Bell law, stating that there should be no phone usage from 'bell to bell,' as in 'after the first bell rings at the start of the school day to begin instructional time until the dismissal [bell] rings at the end of the school day.' It also includes 'lunch and time in between class periods.' Check for updates. To keep up with the latest news and weather updates, download our Mobile App on iPhone or Android.

Earle-Sears' record on social issues complicates bid to follow Youngkin's path in Virginia governor's race
Winsome Earle-Sears, the all-but-certain Republican nominee in the Virginia governor's race this fall, has built the early stages of her campaign around being Gov. Glenn Youngkin's partner. Earle-Sears, the state's lieutenant governor, has largely attempted to frame her candidacy as an extension of the current administration, an attempt to replicate the term-limited governor's path to victory in the blue-leaning state four years ago. 'Together, we've fought for parents, backed the blue, and delivered real results for Virginians. Now, it's time to keep that momentum going,' Earle-Sears, referring to Youngkin, wrote in a Facebook post earlier this year. But there has been notable daylight between Earle-Sears and Youngkin on several fronts, particularly on social issues, complicating her strategy to follow in the footsteps of her more popular governing partner. 'She is definitely trying to have it all ways,' said a Republican operative in Virginia, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about Earle-Sears. Most prominently, Earle-Sears has made clear she is not fully aligned with Youngkin on a pair of hot-button social issues: same-sex marriage and abortion rights. Last year, Youngkin signed legislation protecting marriage equality in Virginia. But Earle-Sears left a handwritten note on the bill stating she was 'morally opposed' to the legislation. Following the bill's passage through both chambers of the Legislature, Earle-Sears wrote on the physical copy, 'As the Lt. Governor, I recognize and respect my constitutional obligation to adhere to the procedures laid out in the Constitution of Virginia. However, I remain morally opposed to the contents of HB174 as passed by the General Assembly.' Earle-Sears doubled down on separating herself from Youngkin's position on the issue in a recent interview, telling a local news outlet in Richmond last month that she was 'fine' with civil unions but refused to say she supported same-sex marriage. She's also out of step with Youngkin's positioning on abortion rights. In 2023, Youngkin proposed a 15-week ban on abortion in the state, which included exceptions for rape, incest and the health of the mother, in an ultimately unsuccessful effort to help the GOP carve out a less severe 'consensus' bill restricting reproductive rights. For her part, Earle-Sears has supported a ban at six weeks, or when fetal cardiac activity is detected — a point at which most women don't even know they are pregnant — and with fewer exceptions. While she got behind Youngkin's 15-week ban in 2023, she left another handwritten note on a measure passed by the Legislature earlier this year to send to voters a proposed constitutional amendment that would enshrine the state's abortion protections. 'I am morally opposed to this bill; no protection for the child,' she wrote. She has also in the past called abortion 'genocide' and vowed to 'do everything in my power' to end abortion in Virginia. Youngkin managed to shift the focus elsewhere during his 2021 campaign — and has largely had to continue doing so as governor, as he's dealt with a Democratic-controlled Legislature. But the fact that he staked out middle ground on social issues has only further highlighted Earle-Sears' more conservative positioning. In addition, Earle-Sears has faced criticism for her approach to the plight of federal workers in Virginia who have been affected by President Donald Trump's moves to shrink the size of government via the Department of Government Efficiency. She praised those efforts earlier this year, saying she was 'glad' Trump was 'getting to the bottom' of alleged waste and fraud in the federal government. While she has often pointed to the Youngkin administration's investments in the private sector of the Virginia economy as a reason workers need not worry, she has also said she would help Trump 'get the job done' on the issue. And she downplayed the federal layoffs at an event in March, saying, 'The media is making it out to be a huge, huge thing — and I don't understand why.' Youngkin, on the other hand, has said he wants to 'cushion' his state's economy from the effects of DOGE and earlier this year was frequently touting a website his administration created that effectively serves as a job board — while also praising DOGE. Earle-Sears' positions stand in contrast to the relative political middle ground Youngkin has famously staked out in Virginia — efforts that have contributed to a record of strong approval ratings for the Republican governor in a state that Kamala Harris carried last year by about 6 percentage points. Last month, though, a Roanoke College poll found a 44% favorability rating for Youngkin among registered voters, versus 50% who view him unfavorably — his worst showing in that particular poll, and a possible indication that the broader GOP brand could be facing trouble in Virginia. But Earle-Sears had lower marks, with only 32% viewing her favorably and 48% saying they had an unfavorable view. Another 20% of respondents said they had no opinion of her. And the poll showed Democrat Abigail Spanberger leading Earle-Sears in the governor's race by 17 points. Political operatives in the state from both parties told NBC News these notable departures by Earle-Sears — particularly on social issues — risk turning off large chunks of voters in the political center that she'd need to hold together Youngkin's winning coalition from four years ago. 'What's her core promise to the voter? It should be pretty simple: 'Things are going good. Let's keep it going' — but she gets distracted,' the Republican operative said. Democratic Party of Virginia spokesperson Maggie Amjad said these issues, and others, show that Earle-Sears 'is a far-right candidate with a long record that's out of step with Virginians.' Representatives for both Earle-Sears and Youngkin downplayed any differences in their political views and emphasized that Youngkin's strengths as governor still extended to Earle-Sears and other Republicans on the ballot in Virginia this fall. 'The media's obsession with creating division where there isn't any won't change the fact that the Youngkin-Sears Administration is one of the most popular in Virginia's history — that's no accident,' Earle-Sears campaign press secretary Peyton Vogel said in an email to NBC News. 'They share a commitment to common-sense leadership, individual liberty, and getting government out of the way. Winsome has been a vital part of this administration, and will continue to bring ideas to the table that better the lives of Virginians across the Commonwealth as Governor just as she has during her time as Lieutenant Governor.' Justin Discigil, a spokesperson for Youngkin's Spirit of Virginia PAC, said in an email that 'Youngkin has delivered for Virginians with record tax relief, record job growth, and record investments in education, law enforcement, behavioral health, and other shared priorities,' and that Earle-Sears 'and all Virginia Republicans have a record to run on with proven results.' Earle-Sears' positioning on social issues and DOGE could further complicate what had already emerged as an uphill climb for Republicans to keep control of the governorship. Earle-Sears has already faced a torrent of criticism for running an undisciplined campaign. And Spanberger, her opponent, is widely seen as a strong candidate who has won several competitive House races. The GOP also faces historical headwinds: In 11 of the last 12 Virginia gubernatorial races, voters elected the candidate of the party out of power in the White House. Republicans view Youngkin's 2021 victory as the product of a unique candidate who was able to benefit from the anger and fatigue over the Covid-19 pandemic and remote learning in public schools. Strategists said that will be difficult to replicate this year. 'He just simply makes the main thing the main thing, and he's extremely disciplined about it. Everything fits into 'make Virginia the best place to live, work and raise a family.' He puts everything into the common sense bucket, the kitchen-table issue bucket. That's where he lives. That's why his approval ratings are always pretty high,' said Virginia-based Republican strategist Zack Roday, who previously worked with Youngkin through his Spirit of Virginia PAC but is not working with the Earle-Sears campaign. Roday, along with other Virginia GOP strategists, suggested that Earle-Sears hadn't yet displayed the same political strengths. Meanwhile, Democrats signaled they were preparing to seize on another difference they said would be meaningful to Virginia voters: how each candidate handled Trump during their campaign. Throughout the 2021 campaign, Youngkin notably kept his distance from Trump, who was at a political low point following his loss to Joe Biden and the fallout from the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. While Youngkin has since cultivated a much more public and close relationship with Trump in the years since, operatives from both major parties credited that distance during that campaign as another reason he won. Earle-Sears has so far voiced full-throated support for Trump. Earle-Sears 'is only focused on appeasing Trump and pushing an extreme agenda that's wrong for Virginia,' said Amjad.

World Environment Day: Coastal Virginia's plastic pollution problem
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Today is World Environment Day, an observance that's been drawing attention to many issues affecting our ecosystems since 1973. Each year, a theme is presented with 2025 focusing on solutions for global plastic pollution. In Virginia, plastic debris is a major concern and clogging many bodies of water. According to Clean Virginia Waterways, 80% of what's detected on the beaches and bodies of water is plastic. 80% of the plastic waste stems from land-based sources. Data from the International Coastal Clean-up shows that cigarette butts are the most commonly found item in waterways. Balloons and construction materials are also infiltrating seashores. 'Even in a neighborhood that might be miles inland if the trash gets into the storm drain, all storm drains lead to water, which eventually will lead in this area to Chesapeake Bay or the Atlantic Ocean,' said Christina Trapani, Clean Virginia Waterways Program Director. Fishery products are also taking a hit. A recent study by CWV found 99% percent of the fish samples contained plastic. Ingesting seafood is another concern. 'Even the smallest plankton are eating microfibers and microplastics,' said Trapani. 'And then as they go up into the food chain, you know, they're either ingesting the plastic themselves or they're ingesting another fish that's eating plastic. So, if we're eating fish, you know, there's a pretty good chance that it's in there.' The Commonwealth currently has a Marine Debris Reduction Plan in effect. It's the first of its kind on the east coast. It was created by Clean Virginia Waterways and the Virginia Coastal Zone Management program. More than 75 partners, organizations, educational institutions and governmental agencies are working on the plastic issues within the plan. 'We managed to get balloon releases banned in Virginia,' says Trapani. 'You know, since that time, we've managed to get a law passed in the General Assembly that allows localities to put a five-cent fee or tax on plastic bags. Richmond just passed that a few days ago.' The Virginia Coastal Zone Management program funds the implementation of Clean Virginia's Waterways' Virginia Marine Debris Reduction Plan through a grant from NOAA, which is federal funding. Trapani says there's a risk they could lose almost half their budget over the Trump Administration's rollout of funding cuts. 'As of right now, we're still kind of in a wait-and-see stage,' she said. 'But yeah, we're aware that it could easily go away and are working on looking at other possible sources of funding. You know, the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program has been an amazing partner with us for a very long time.' The next Virginia Marine Debris Reduction Plan is set to go into effect in 2026 and run through 2030. Under that plan, they hope to eliminate plastic use entirely in the Commonwealth.
