RELATING TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

SB 684 requires the State Board of Education to create specific administrative rules banning cell phone use in all Department of Education schools during school hours. This policy would directly affect students and staff by restricting personal phone usage while at school. The bill mandates that the Board develop and implement enforceable rules, rather than setting a direct ban. It does not specify penalties or exceptions but directs the Board to establish the administrative framework for implementation.
