This concurrent resolution encourages (but does not require) school district boards across South Dakota to create policies that limit students' use of cell phones and other electronic devices during class time, based on research showing such devices distract from learning and lower test scores. The resolution also encourages school districts to train teachers and staff on these policies so they understand and enforce them consistently.
