The school board passed the resolution 6-0, requiring grade- and subject-specific screen time policies and barring device use for first graders and younger.
The policy incentivizes pen-and-paper assignments, prohibits student-led use of YouTube, and mandates public review of classroom technology contracts, aiming to balance technology access with student well-being and development.
This move follows last year’s cell phone ban and aligns with a national trend, as 26 states have enacted similar restrictions on student device use in K-12 classrooms due to concerns about excessive screen time.
