How to write a device policy your state law will accept
A practical template for the instructional-time restrictions, exceptions, and reporting most state phone laws require, and how to make it enforceable.
A practical template for the instructional-time restrictions, exceptions, and reporting most state phone laws require, and how to make it enforceable.
Most state phone laws require four things: restrict devices during instructional time, define consequences, honor medical/IEP/504 and educational exceptions, and report compliance. A policy that lives in a PDF satisfies none of them on its own. This playbook gives you a section-by-section template covering scope, hours, exceptions, enforcement mechanism, and reporting, and shows how each clause maps to an automatic control you can actually prove you enforced when the state asks.
