Education: other; any requirement to use social media as a form of engagement; prohibit. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1136a.

HB 5589 prohibits Michigan public schools from requiring students to use social media platforms for school-related activities, such as class assignments or club events. It directly affects students and school personnel by mandating that school boards adopt policies banning this practice. The bill defines "social media platform" broadly but explicitly excludes educational tools like learning management systems, teleconferencing services, and school-sanctioned digital learning platforms. This creates a clear policy requiring schools to avoid using commercial social media for educational purposes while allowing necessary academic technology.
