What’s in it

This bill directs the department of education, in collaboration with the department of health and human services, to convene a working group to examine research related to the impact of technology on the cognitive function of students. The bill requires the working group to provide a report to the general assembly by December 31, 2023, detailing the working group’s findings and recommendations. The report must include recommendations on best practices related to the use of technology in educational settings.
