Directs the department of education to establish model codes of conduct on school property regarding cellphone use

This bill directs New York's Department of Education to create model codes of conduct for cellphone use on all school property (including buildings and outdoor areas) during school hours. The model codes must be developed with input from school superintendents and school boards, and will be posted online for schools to reference. All public school districts, charter schools, and nonpublic schools in New York must then adopt their own specific cellphone policies for students based on these models. The requirement takes effect July 1, 2025.
