In this episode of Statehouse Spotlights, host Ashley Mullins sits down with Sen. Lincoln Fillmore to discuss Utah’s distraction-free learning policy. The law aims to create phone-free classrooms, improve student engagement and support teachers in fostering a more focused learning environment. With Utah’s legislative session now concluded, this conversation reflects on the successes, challenge and potential lessons for other states considering similar policies.
Sen. Fillmore shares his thoughts on the motivations behind the bill, the importance of balancing statewide standards with local flexibility and how schools can effectively implement the new policy. The discussion also explores concerns from parents and technology advocates, as well as the broader impact on student well-being and academic success.
