RAATZ TO PUSH FOR CELL PHONE BAN IN SCHOOLS

(Richmond, IN)--Indiana State Senator Jeff Raatz of Richmond Tuesday provided a look at what he’ll be working on in the upcoming legislative session.  Raatz’ focus has long been on education.  In a statement Tuesday, Raatz said he’s working on a bill that would limit cell phone usage at schools not only to focus more on education, but also so that students would engage more with their peers.  In Ohio, a similar ban on cell phones in schools will take effect beginning at midnight Wednesday night.
