Summary

Starting in the 2027‑28 school year, California school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools may not require kindergarten or transitional‑kindergarten students to take home a school‑issued electronic device, though they may allow it. The State Department of Education must publish model policies on age‑appropriate screen time and related issues by July 1 2027. Districts are also expressly permitted to adopt rules limiting social‑media use on campus and to run a “Wait Until 8th” program encouraging families to postpone social‑media use until at least eighth grade.
