EDUCATION – Adds to existing law to provide for a distraction-free learning policy.

Idaho's S 1032 requires all public school districts and charter schools to adopt a "distraction-free learning" policy by December 31, 2025, governing student use of phones and tablets during school hours on school grounds. The policy must limit device use to reduce classroom distractions but cannot mandate a total ban - schools may choose to prohibit devices entirely or allow exceptions for individualized education plans (IEPs). Schools must publicly post their adopted policy on their website. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
