LA Unified Sets Groundbreaking Screen-Time Limits in Classrooms
TL;DR
Los Angeles Unified School District approved a 6-0 resolution to curb device use, create grade-specific screen-time policies, prohibit devices for first graders, restrict self-directed YouTube access, require opt-outs, and audit ed-tech contracts, with the policy taking effect in 2026-27. The move comes amid a parent-driven backlash against heavy reliance on school devices and marks the first major district to pursue reduced screen exposure.
