But that same study found suspensions more than doubled in the first year, with Black students bearing the brunt of disciplinary action. Schools like the one led by Alabama principal Charles Longshore show there is a better way. His school used other disciplinary approaches instead of suspension. The result: far fewer students failed their classes and students referred to summer school dropped from 80 to 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Longshore told Chalkbeat Colorado, that &#8220;in fact, discipline at the school improved significantly. There was less drama, Longshore said, and far fewer fights. The lunchroom got loud again with students talking to their classmates.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-the-guide\"><strong>Get the Guide<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full has-lightbox\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stand.org\/colorado\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/10\/Cell-Phone-Free-Schools_Guide-for-Educators_10312025.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stand.org\/colorado\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/10\/educator-guide-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4119\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:65px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full has-lightbox\"><a href=\"https:\/\/act.stand.org\/a\/district-go-cell-phone-free?sourceid=1134177\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/stand.org\/colorado\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/facebook-phone-free-schools.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stand.org\/colorado\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/facebook-phone-free-schools.png 940w, https:\/\/stand.org\/colorado\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/facebook-phone-free-schools-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/stand.org\/colorado\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/facebook-phone-free-schools-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/stand.org\/colorado\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/facebook-phone-free-schools-60x50.png 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Schools across the country are wrestling with cell phone policies.
