Public schools; require school boards to adopt policy on bell-to-bell cell phone prohibitions.

Summary

The bill would force every public school district in Mississippi to write age‑appropriate policies that limit or prohibit student cell phones and similar devices from the first bell to the last each school day. It applies to elementary, middle and high schools, allows exceptions for students with IEPs or 504 plans, and bars suspension or expulsion for policy violations. The policies must be posted publicly and tied into each district’s safety plan.
