What it requires
- If you are an Iowa school district or charter school, before you adopt or renew a one-to-one digital device program for any grade level, complete a technology adoption checklist that documents your consideration of the instructional purpose of the device, the age appropriateness of the device and associated software, content-filtering limitations and your capacity to mitigate them, and whether student data is collected, stored, or shared and the nature of those data practices (Iowa Code 279.89(4)(a)).
- Keep the checklist and make it available to the Iowa Department of Education on request for audit or compliance purposes (Iowa Code 279.89(4)(b)).

What this law does
Section 279.89 of the Iowa Code, added by Division VIII of House File 2676, requires the board of directors of a school district, before it adopts or renews a one-to-one digital device program for any grade level, to complete a technology adoption checklist.
The checklist documents the district's consideration of whether student data is collected, stored, or shared, and the nature of those data practices, along with the instructional purpose of the device, age appropriateness, and content-filtering limitations. The board retains the checklist and makes it available to the department of education on request for audit or compliance purposes.
The section defines a one-to-one digital device program as a program through which a school district provides or assigns a digital device to each student for instructional use. Sections 16 and 17 of House File 2676 amend Iowa Code sections 256E.7 and 256F.4 so that the schools those sections govern comply with section 279.89 in the same manner as a school district. The Department of Education states that public schools and charter schools are included in the requirements of Division VIII.
Section 279.89 does not apply to students enrolled in an online learning program operating under section 256.43. Senate File 2220 of the same session also enacts a new section numbered 279.89, on an advanced mathematics pathway. The Department of Education states that House File 2676 was signed into law on .
Section 3.7(1) of the Iowa Code provides that an act of a public nature passed at a regular session of the general assembly takes effect on the first day of July following its passage, unless the act provides some other time. The Iowa Legislature's bill history records the Senate's final passage of House File 2676 on . The same bill history lists as the effective date of House File 2676.
