AI Summary
This bill seeks to prohibit students in public schools from possessing or using personal electronic devices, such as smartphones and tablets, in classrooms. The bill defines "personal electronic device" and "accessory" (any device that can connect to a personal electronic device) and requires students to place these items in a designated storage compartment upon entering the classroom. The bill provides exceptions where students can use these devices, such as in emergencies, with teacher permission, or with a note from a healthcare provider. The enforcement of this policy is left to the discretion of the school district and individual schools.
