South Carolina Education Department Seeks to Limit Student Screen Time
The South Carolina Department of Education is proposing to expand its restrictions on technology use in schools, following a statewide ban on cellphones. The department is requesting $17.6 million from the state legislature to address the overuse of technology by students. This initiative includes a statewide survey to assess how schools manage technology in classrooms. The department aims to educate students on the impact of screens on mental well-being, relationships, and academic performance. The proposal is part of a broader effort to promote responsible technology use among students.
