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.
