Establishes the "Student Screen-Time Standards Act" and the "Framework on Classroom Use of Screens (FOCUS) Council" regarding instructional methods in elementary schools

Summary

The bill mandates that every public school district and charter school (excluding virtual schools) create a written policy for kindergarten through fifth grade that sets limits on student screen time, device use, and internet access. It also requires annual parent notification, access to individual usage data, and a public posting of the policy, with guidance coming from a new state‑wide FOCUS Council. The measure aims to protect child development and keep technology supplemental to core learning.
