Summary

The proposal would force every public school corporation and charter school in Indiana to adopt a policy that bars students from using or possessing any wireless communication device—cell phones, tablets, laptops, gaming devices, or smartwatches—during the school day. Teachers could only use school‑provided devices for instruction, and schools would have to choose either a no‑device rule or a secure‑storage system, with specific exceptions for medical, disability, emergency, or language‑access needs.
