EDUCATION – Adds to existing law to establish the Mobile Device Policy Fund.

H 225 creates the School Mobile Device Policy Fund to help Idaho K-12 public school districts and charter schools implement "bell-to-bell" mobile device restrictions (prohibiting student phone use during school hours except for educational or health reasons). The fund provides need-based grants to cover costs for equipment like phone storage containers and related services. To qualify, schools must adopt a bell-to-bell policy and demonstrate financial need through a detailed application process. The state board of education manages the fund and requires grantees to track student outcomes like suspensions and test scores for annual reporting to lawmakers.
