Los Angeles’ school board on April 21 approved a resolution to regulate student screen time during classroom instruction, amid growing concern among educators and health experts about the effects of prolonged digital exposure on children.

The school board for the Los Angeles Unified School District voted 6–0, with one recusal, to adopt the measure directing officials to develop age-appropriate limits on classroom technology use across all grade levels, the district said in a statement.
