"I feel we have a moral responsibility to have at least a conversation on how cellphones may impact both a classroom and also a child," Marietta City Schools Superintendent Grant Rivera said.
Rivera said texting can pose a distraction to a student. There is also a concern about the potential harm social media can bring to students.
