The U.S. Department of Education has called on every state, school district, and school to adopt policies to guide use of student personal devices in schools. In support, the agency issued “Planning Together: A Playbook for Student Personal Device Policies,” with a model process that education leaders may use to design policies for the use of cell phones and other personal devices in schools, alongside educators, students, parents, and caregivers. It provides a set of step-by-step practices for building a shared understanding of the needs and concerns surrounding personal devices in a school community, as well as recommendations for addressing them through clear and consistent policies.
