Concerns policies governing student use of cell phones and social media platforms in public schools.

This bill requires New Jersey public schools to create written policies governing student cell phone and social media use during school hours, on school buses, and at school events. The policies must include age-appropriate rules, allow exceptions for emergencies, health needs (with parent documentation), or educational purposes, and align with student accommodations like IEPs. Schools must also implement network restrictions blocking social media access on all school-owned devices and wireless networks. The state education commissioner will develop guidelines to help schools adopt these policies, covering device types, storage options, communication protocols, and disciplinary procedures.
