Phones are not allowed at lunch or during passing periods between classes, and, under the ban, individual schools decide how students\u2019 phones are stored, be that in lockers, in magnetically sealed pouches, or just placed into sleeves at the front door of every classroom, away from students\u2019 reach.<\/p>\n<p>The ban was approved by the Los Angeles Unified School District through what is called a &#8220;resolution&#8221;\u2014which the board voted on last year. LAUSD Board Member Nick Melvoin, who sponsored the resolution, said the overall ban was the right decision to help students.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe research is clear: widespread use of smartphones and social media by kids and adolescents is harmful to their mental health, distracts from learning, and stifles meaningful in-person interaction.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with LAUSD Board Member Nick Melvoin about the smartphone ban, how exceptions were determined, where opposition arose, and whether it is &#8220;working.&#8221; Melvoin also speaks about the biggest changes he has seen in the first few months of the cellphone ban, especially the simple reintroduction of noise in hallways. <\/p>\n<p>> &#8220;[During a school visit last year,] every single kid was on their phone, every single kid. They were standing there looking, texting again, sometimes texting someone who was within a few feet of them, and it was quiet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tune in today to listen to the full episode. <\/p>\n<p>_Show notes and credits:_  <\/p>\n<p>Intro Music: \u201cSpellbound\u201d by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)  <br \/>Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License  <br \/>http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/  <br \/>Outro Music: \u201cGood God\u201d by Wowa (unminus.com)<\/p>\n<p>* * *<\/p>\n<p>**Listen up\u2014Malwarebytes doesn\u2019t just talk cybersecurity, we provide it.**<\/p>\n<p>Protect yourself from online attacks that threaten your identity, your files, your system, and your financial well-being with our exclusive offer for Malwarebytes Premium for Lock and Code listeners.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.malwarebytes.com\/blog\/podcast\/2025\/05\/how-los-angeles-banned-smartphones-in-schools-lock-and-code-s06e10\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"display: inline-block; color: white; padding: 10px 20px; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 4px;\">View Advisory Details<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Security Update News Update Information Title How Los Angeles banned smartphones in schools (Lock and Code S06E10) Update ID MALWAREBYTES:E0DF03EECCDB7457340085D5ED306078 Type malwarebytes Published 2025-05-19T16:15:30 Last&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[6,8,34,12,115,13,33,7,11,5],"class_list":["post-5198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-category_news","tag-cve","tag-cvss","tag-cvss-00","tag-exploit","tag-malwarebytes","tag-news","tag-none","tag-security","tag-tapic","tag-vulnerability"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
