CEC 4 calls for screen-time limits and student privacy rules
What happened
CEC 4 unanimously approved a resolution calling for age-appropriate screen-time limits, data transparency, and student privacy protections in New York City public schools.
Why it matters to families
The requested safeguards concern how much time students spend on school technology and how their data is handled. A CEC resolution is advisory and does not itself change NYCPS policy.
The evidence
The May 13 meeting minutes name the screen-time, transparency, and privacy resolution and record its unanimous approval by the council.
