school policies; internet; wireless devices
HB 2484 requires Arizona school districts and charter schools to adopt policies governing student internet access and wireless device use during the school day. Specifically, it mandates restrictions on social media access (except for teacher-directed educational use) and limits wireless device use, with exceptions for education, emergencies, medical needs, and parent contact procedures. Schools must provide annual written notices of these policies to parents, teachers, and students at the start of each school year. The law applies to all K-12 public schools in Arizona and defines "school day" to include all school time, such as meals and recess.
