Victor Technology Releases Classroom Cellphone Locker Amid Increased School Cellphone Bans

BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Feb. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As many states have adopted restrictions and bans on cellphone usage in schools, there is an increased demand for solutions on how to handle cellphones in schools. As teachers have had uncertainty about how to implement these cellphone restrictions, Victor Technology has released a Classroom Cellphone Locker as a solution to this increased interest from schools. "With the increasing number of new rules and directives for cell phone use in schools, our customers have asked us for solutions to this problem. With the launch of our new Classroom Cell Phone Locker, we are providing a simple and safe solution to the problem," said Greg Palese, Vice President, Marketing, Victor Technology.

At least 19 states have passed laws and enacted policies that ban or restrict students' use of cellphones in schools statewide or recommend local districts enact their own bans and restrictive policies. Cellphone restriction conversations rise amid increased social media use and creating a distraction within the classroom. As the debate over cellphone usage in schools continues, offering a solution for the implementation of cellphone restrictions has become increasingly important.

According to research from a National Center for Education Statistics survey of approximately 4,800 public elementary and secondary schools, 76% have prohibited cellphone usage outside of academic use during school hours, and younger students in elementary and middle schools are more subject to bans compared to high schoolers.

"Our goal is to provide a secure and reliable way for educators to safely store students' cellphones while they're in a classroom," said Doug Nash, CEO Victor Technology. "We understand how important distraction-free learning is to teachers and students' alike, and by providing a safe, convenient, and lightweight Classroom Storage Locker, we hope to be part of the solution."
