SB 154 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Requiring school districts to prohibit the use of privately owned electronic communication devices during school hours and students from using school district computers or devices to access social media platforms.

SB 154 requires Kansas school districts to create policies banning students from using personal electronic devices (like phones or tablets) during school hours, except for special education plans, teacher-approved educational use, or health/emergency reasons. It also mandates that schools prohibit students from accessing social media platforms on school-owned computers or devices. The bill directs school boards to establish clear disciplinary consequences for violations and defines "social media" as platforms where users share content with others. These policies directly affect all K-12 students and school staff in Kansas public schools.
