Grade-by-grade screen-time limits begin this school year

Los Angeles Unified School District · Jun 23, 2026

Day-to-day

What happened

The Board adopted limits starting with zero routine screen time for Early Education through first grade in August 2026, followed by limits for grades 2-5 in November and grades 6-12 in January 2027.

Why it matters to families

The policy changes classroom device use, take-home devices, homework, and family consent across every LAUSD school, with exceptions for required assessments, disability supports, English learners, and Virtual Academy.

The evidence

The stamped order of business marks the policy adopted as amended and lists phased grade-level limits, device rules, family opt-in or opt-out provisions, and an annual public Board review.
