Iowa House passes governor's proposal to ban cellphone use in school classrooms.
The bill would require school boards to adopt a policy banning the use of personal electronic devices during instruction time.
School districts would be required to put in place specific disciplinary measures for students who use cellphones during class and tests.
Some exceptions to the minimum ban in cases where students have an IEP or 504 plan that requires accommodations involving cellphones.
The measure was introduced after mathematics proficiency was identified in the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) as an area for improvement in Iowa .
Iowa ’s math rankings fell from from 7th to 30th for fourth graders, and from 15th to 23rd for eighth graders according to the NAEP report.
