Bill Summary

This bill requires school districts to adopt policies governing student cell phone use in schools.

AI Summary

This bill requires school boards to create and implement policies that regulate how students can use their personal cell phones within school buildings. Specifically, these policies must limit student cell phone use during class time unless a teacher gives permission, though schools are encouraged to allow phone use if a teacher incorporates them into a lesson. Importantly, the bill ensures that students with disabilities can continue to use their devices for learning if it's part of their individualized education program (IEP) or 504 plan, which are formal plans outlining necessary accommodations for students with disabilities.
