It’s the first major school district in the nation to set limits on the use of laptops and tablets in class.
The measure calls for guidelines for each grade and subject, and bars students in first grade or younger from using devices, among other measures.
The moment a sharp turn from the COVID era, when schools leaned into the use of technology. That led to pushback from parents and teachers, who said it led to unhealthy screen habits.
The Los Angeles Unified School District is the second largest in the nation, serving about half-a-million students.
