This bill proposes to amend section 15-341 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by introducing new requirements for school district governing boards regarding the management of students' wireless communications devices during instructional time. The current statute mandates that each school district governing board shall establish policies, but the bill specifies that these policies must include detailed procedures for the deposit and retrieval of devices, as well as conditions under which students may use their devices during class.

The new provisions require that school districts develop and adopt these policies in a public meeting, ensuring transparency and communication with parents, teachers, and students. The bill outlines specific conditions under which students may retain access to their devices, such as involvement in volunteer firefighting, medical needs, or educational requirements, thereby providing a structured approach to device usage in schools while maintaining a focus on instructional integrity.
