Potential points of contention

  • Funding mechanisms – Whether the bill provides adequate state or local funding for technology implementation, or shifts costs to already-strained school budgets
  • Digital equity concerns – Whether the legislation adequately addresses disparities between well-resourced and under-resourced districts
  • Screen time and student welfare – Whether safeguards exist regarding appropriate technology use limits and mental health considerations for young students
