South Dakota schools would be required to prohibit students from using cell phones during the school day, except when needed for approved medical or educational reasons or during emergencies. Each school district's board must adopt its own discipline policy for students who violate this restriction. This creates a new statewide rule while allowing local schools flexibility in how they enforce it.
