Screen Free Schools

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill would require public schools in North Carolina to create policies limiting student use of wireless devices like cell phones and smartwatches. For students in kindergarten through eighth grade, devices would be prohibited at all times on school property. For high school students, devices would be banned during the school day, except for testing, emergencies, educational purposes authorized by a teacher, or medical needs. The state would also provide $100,000 to help schools implement these new rules.
