BOSTON (WHDH) - Massachusetts state senators are advancing legislation to ban cell phones in schools.
Lawmakers voted unanimously Tuesday to send the bill to a Senate committee, the last stop before a floor vote in the chamber.
Senators said cell phones can be distracting and banning them would ensure classrooms are spaces where kids can focus and learn.
