Bill > S381

This bill amends Section 37H of Chapter 71 of the Massachusetts General Laws to require school districts to establish policies that prohibit student cell phone use during instructional time, with the only exception being when a teacher specifically directs students to use their cell phones for educational purposes. The proposed change means that students would be generally banned from using their mobile devices during class time, which aims to reduce distractions and improve classroom focus. By adding language to the existing education code, the legislation seeks to create a more structured learning environment by limiting potential disruptions caused by personal electronic devices.
