Banning Social Media Access on School Networks and Mandating Screen Time Policies.
This Act prohibits students from accessing social media platforms on devices and networks subsidized by federal school programs (E-Rate, ECF). It mandates that schools create and publicly disclose detailed policies setting limits on student screen time, both during school hours and as homework. The goal is to reduce distractions and increase transparency for parents regarding technology use in education.
Key points
Schools receiving federal funding for internet and equipment must block student access to defined social media platforms.
All subsidized schools must adopt and publicly report policies detailing screen time limits and usage guidelines, broken down by grade level.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will establish a public database where parents can review the internet safety and screen time policies adopted by schools.
