In Los Angeles, a new policy is set to take effect in August. This policy affects student screen time. The Los Angeles Unified School Board made this decision recently.

Details of the policy are still emerging, but it is known that the board voted unanimously. The goal is to limit screen time for students. Further information about the policy and its specifics can be found through local news sources, including LAist.
