Enacting the age-appropriate school device act to establish safety standards and requirements for the use of school-issued devices in certain grade levels and authorizing parents to opt students out of certain uses of such devices.

This bill, the Age-Appropriate School Device Act, would limit the use of digital devices in Kansas schools. For younger students (kindergarten through fifth grade), all instruction and testing would be print-based, with no digital devices allowed in the classroom. Older students (sixth through twelfth grade) would have restricted access and limited screen time on school-provided devices, with schools required to block social media and provide media literacy instruction. Parents would also have the option to opt their children out of using digital devices.
