## Resource

Across the country, state leaders are considering legislation to limit or ban screen time in K–12 schools. These proposals raise complex questions about student well-being, academic outcomes, digital access, and workforce readiness-issues that have significant implications for the future of teaching and learning. To support thoughtful policymaking and inform this rapidly evolving public discussion, CoSN , Digital Promise , FullScale , and SETDA are convening a national policy briefing designed specifically for state education agency leaders and policymakers–creating space for informed discussion grounded in research, policy, and the operational realities of state education systems. At a moment when policymakers across the country are debating the role of technology in classrooms, this briefing will provide state leaders with balanced, research-informed perspectives to help guide thoughtful policy decisions.
