Rep. Scott Cepicky, R-Culleoka, has filed a bill that would restrict the ways students can use devices like cell phones, tablets and laptops in schools. WBIR reports that the bill would require school districts across the state to pass policies prohibiting students from using devices during instructional time, though it does make a number of exceptions, such as 504 plans, an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that specifically include devices, if a teacher grants permission, in an emergency, or if students need devices to manage their health.
