As of July 1, 2025, a Tennessee state law restricts student cell phone and personal device use during instructional time in Kindergarten through 12th grade to reduce distractions and improve classroom focus. While students can possess phones, they must be stored away during class, with exceptions for medical needs, IEPs, or educational purposes.
Key Aspects of the Tennessee School Phone Policy (2025-2026):
Instructional Time Restriction: Phones must be off or away during, at minimum, instructional time.
Local Control: Districts determine if phones are banned all day or only in class, and decide on disciplinary measures.
Safety & Exceptions: Devices are allowed for emergencies, health management (e.g., monitoring blood sugar), or if required by an IEP or 504 plan.
Implementation: Some districts are using specialized locked pouches to store phones throughout the day.
Parent Communication: Schools are required to have a plan for communicating with parents during emergencies.
The law aims to improve student mental health and academic focus by reducing social media distractions during school hours. |
