BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) refers to students using their own personal phones and devices at school, as opposed to school-issued hardware — the context in which most phone-free policies must operate.

Also known as: bring your own device, student-owned devices

Because most students bring personal phones rather than school-owned devices, a phone-free policy has to work without requiring the school to own or fully manage (MDM-enroll) the device.

Software enforcement designed for BYOD restricts the phone during school hours while leaving the student in possession of their own device and their personal data untouched.
