Courtney and I loved catching up with Governor @JebBush today at the Florida Capitol. Grateful to learn from his experience and wisdom as we work to build on his successes.

Florida became a model for the rest of the nation when we passed legislation in 2023 to remove cell phones from classrooms, and I was proud to help spearhead that effort. I believe there is more we can do to further promote ideal learning environments and increase student achievement, which is why I've filed SB 1296. This will allow us to take a closer look at phone-free school campuses, which I believe can encourage students to connect more personally with each other and their teachers and better support their academic efforts. Proud to have the support of @JebBush's @AFloridaPromise, which has noted that data shows eliminating the distraction of cell phones, not just in the classroom but on campus throughout the school day, results in better school climate and academic outcomes.
