Danbury-area schools are tightening restrictions on cellphone use as part of a statewide push to reduce distractions and address mental health concerns. Brookfield High School now requires students to store their phones in designated holders during instructional time, while Wilton schools are considering a similar policy. Danbury’s district is forming a committee to review its cellphone rules. The committee will focus on input from parents, teachers, and students. The changes follow a growing national trend to limit devices, with many educators citing classroom disruption and student well-being as key concerns.
