Over the summer, Florida’s Broward County Public Schools made the decision to ban students from using cellphones and other communication devices for the entire school day.
It's a particularly sensitive topic in Broward County after the 2018 Parkland shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which is in the district.
Carline Dumoulin, a mother of two students at Broward’s Cypress Bay High School, is one of those signatories.
Broward County school board member Debra Hixon was present at the meeting where the rule was approved, but had left before the vote.
Last year, a video of several students fighting at West Broward High School circulated online, gaining thousands of views on X.
