Most states now require districts to restrict devices during instruction and prove compliance. The policy deadline was the beginning — enforcing it across every device, and reporting it, is the ongoing work. Focus makes it automatic.
| What the law typically requires | How Focus delivers it | |
|---|---|---|
| Restrict devices during instructional time | Schedule + geofence restrict automatically during class hours, on campus — and release after. | ✓ |
| Block social media & games on school devices | Policies apply per campus and schedule, with teacher-authorized exceptions. | ✓ |
| Define consequences; report compliance annually | Compliance dashboard + audit log, exportable for state reporting. | ✓ |
| Honor educational, medical & IEP/504 exceptions | Per-student and per-class carve-outs, without disabling the whole program. | ✓ |
| Keep students safe in emergencies | Emergency Lockdown — one click locks every device in 2–3 seconds. | ✓ |
| Respect student & family privacy | On-campus, school-hours only; hands-off after the bell; minimal data; no data sales. | ✓ |
Requirements vary by state and change over time. Focus maps to the common elements above; confirm your state's specific statute and reporting format with your counsel. This document is informational and not legal advice.
