Tennessee HB0041 mandates schools to create policies on wireless communication device use by students.

Tennessee HB0041 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, to require local boards of education and public charter school governing bodies to adopt and implement a wireless communication device policy. This policy mandates that students in grades K-8 keep their devices turned off and stowed away during instructional time, while students in grades 9-12 must do the same except when using devices as part of their Individualized Education Program or 504 plan.
