Massachusetts H5394 aims to promote safe technology use and distraction-free education for youth.

Massachusetts H5394 mandates school districts to create policies prohibiting student use of personal electronic devices during school hours. The policy must include methods to prevent personal use of school-issued devices, secure storage options, and means for parents and students to communicate during school hours, with considerations for emergencies. The policy must also specify enforcement provisions to ensure student compliance, with safeguards to prevent inequitable discipline.
