Do you have a plan to vote June 30th? Double check your registration with Vote411 here: vote411.org/colorado Make your voices heard, education champions! 🍎
It's official. The @dps_k12 board just unanimously voted yes on a bell-to-bell phone policy for every student in the district. Phones off and away for the full "instructional day" starting this fall. Read our full statement: stand.org/colorado/our-s… #edcolo
DPS heard the community. We're one vote away from a bell-to-bell policy for all students. Send a message to board members before Monday's vote. act.stand.org/a/pfs-dps-fina… #edcolo
...That matters for their mental health, their friendships, and their ability to learn. This is what teachers and the community asked for and the DPS board is on track to deliver.” - Krista Spurgin #edcolo
Statement: “DPS led one of the most collaborative, thoughtful processes we have seen to develop their cell phone policy. They are on track to adopt a policy that gives students a school day free from the nonstop distraction phones are designed to create" stand.org/colorado/our-s…

"We know partial policies don't actually work when phones are allowed during lunch or passing periods. Those distractions don't stay there, they just come back into the classroom and teachers lose valuable learning time managing devices." #edcolo chalkbeat.org/colorado/2026/…
DPS surveyed 7,100+ community members. 64% want phones away all day. 76% of educators agree. The board is deciding now. Email them and tell them to adopt the CDAC recommendations for away-all-day for all students: act.stand.org/a/dps-adopt-cd… #edcolo
DPS asked parents & educators to study cell phones in schools.Their recommendation:an away all day policy for all students.Now board members are talking about watering it down. Committee member Milagros on why she's asking them not to:boardhawk.org/2026/06/dps-pl… #edcolo
Mesa District 51 school board unanimously voted to put phones off and away during school hours. Initially met with resistance, students are now thriving, focusing more in class and engaging w/ peers. Read more Grand Junction Sentinel's editorial: gjsentinel.com/opinion/editor… #edcolo
CO school boards are passing "instruction time only" policies for high schoolers. It's not enough. Teachers still lose time at the start of every class to phones. And students lose the mental health benefits of a fully phone-free day. Learn more: stand.org/colorado/phone… #edcolo
Educators like Camille want a real phone-free policy not a half measure. Away all day works. Instructional time only does not. Colorado districts have until July 2026 to get this right. Join the movement: stand.org/colorado/phone… #edcolo
@dps_k12 **Correction: 23-committee members, not 17!
When @dps_k12 set out to create a cell phone policy, they did it the right way. 17 parents, educators, & community members. Months of work. A unanimous recommendation: phones away all day, K-12, district-wide. Final vote: June 11. Proposed policy: dpsk12.community.highbond.com/document/0b262… #edcolo
DPS created a 23-member community committee to get their phone policy right. They were unanimous. Now it's your turn. Take the survey before it closes May 15 and add your voice before the final board vote in June. edu.sogolytics.com/survey/form?k=… #edcolo
"Don't let your district settle for an 'instructional time only' policy." Krista Spurgin in the @DenverPost #edcolo districts have until July 1 to adopt a cell phone policy. Away all day/bell-to-bell is the only approach that works. denverpost.com/2026/04/29/sch…
“We need to remove cell phones from schools for the sake of our children’s futures,” she said. “This is not punishment. It is for their good health. This is about love for the kids.” chalkbeat.org/colorado/2026/… via @MelanieAsmar
Want to know what an effective bell-to-bell policy looks like in practice? Our implementation guide walks educators through storage options, enforcement steps, consequence frameworks and clear communications with families and educators. stand.org/colorado/wp-co… #edcolo
The DPS committee got it right: "The policy of putting phones away just for in-class doesn't seem to be working effectively." That's why they recommended a bell-to-bell phone-free policy. The board votes June 11. chalkbeat.org/colorado/2026/… #edcolo
