RELATING TO EDUCATION.

SB 1264 requires the state Board of Education to create a policy banning student use of phones and other electronic devices during all school hours. This directly affects public school students and educators across the state, as schools would need to implement and enforce this rule. The key provision mandates the Board to adopt a specific policy, not a general guideline, to prohibit devices while students are in class or on school grounds during instructional time. The bill does not specify penalties or exceptions, focusing solely on the requirement for the Board to establish the rule.
