LAUSD Bans Screens for Young Students | Los Angeles News

LAUSD is launching a bold new policy this Wednesday: preschool through first graders will be device-free during school hours, except for specific educational needs. This move aims to curb pandemic-era screen overuse and restore balance by prioritizing face-to-face learning and hands-on activities. While exceptions exist for standardized tests, online programs, and students with special needs, teachers now have greater control over digital access. Students won’t automatically get devices to take home, though families can request them. The district’s goal? To lead the nation with thoughtful, research-backed tech guidelines that prioritize student engagement and well-being.
