Limits digital instruction for students in grades K-5 to a maximum of 60 minutes per school day, with exemptions for IEP-required technology, assistive devices, teacher-directed demonstrations, state assessments, and dedicated computer science curriculum.

Requires school district boards to adopt written technology use policies for grades K-5 that include daily digital instruction limits, lists of approved platforms and applications, and notice of parents' rights to request further reductions in their child's screen time.

Mandates that school boards complete a technology adoption checklist before implementing or renewing any one-to-one digital device program, documenting considerations of instructional purpose, age appropriateness, content filtering capabilities, and student data practices.

Requires districts to publish technology use policies on elementary school websites and make publicly available information about one-to-one device programs along with opt-out options for parents who decline digital instruction participation.

Extends these instructional technology standards to apply equally to charter schools and innovation school zones in the same manner as traditional school districts.
