K-12 Student Device Policy - 50-State Tracker

What it is

Deterministic, in-browser tracker for state-level K-12 student cell-phone and personal-device law. A US tile-grid map colors all 50 states at once by governing instrument (statute, state board rule, executive order, guidance, or none) or by reach, and every state links straight to its governing law at the primary .gov source; drill into any state for how far the restriction actually reaches (full-day, instructional time, policy mandate only), mandatory versus merely permitted exceptions, effective and sunset dates, the official citation, and the date we verified it. Export the whole dated snapshot as JSON or CSV, or download a self-contained HTML widget to embed in your own app, with a subscription for refreshed, re-verified data. Computes in-force status and verification staleness for any as-of date. No API, no key, no network, no AI. Research aid, not legal advice.

Honest scope

Authorities cited

• Each state row cites its own primary instrument; see the officialSource link on every result.
• Instrument classification distinguishes enacted statute from state board rule, executive order, and non-binding guidance, because durability and repeal path differ materially.
• Reach classification distinguishes a full-day (bell-to-bell) requirement from an instructional-time-only requirement from a bare policy-adoption mandate.
