Bill would create grants for schools to reduce student screen time and digital device use.
The problem
Students spend increasing amounts of time on digital devices, raising concerns about mental health, focus, and physical activity levels in schools.
The proposal
Establishes federal grant program funding schools to implement policies and programs reducing student screen time and promoting device-free learning environments.
The impact
Schools receive funding to change tech use policies; students experience less screen time; teachers adapt teaching methods; tech companies may see reduced device usage in classrooms.
Reduced screen time may help students concentrate better in class and retain information more effectively. Less distraction from devices could improve academic performance.
Lower device use is linked to reduced anxiety, depression, and sleep problems in young people. Schools could create healthier environments for students.
Device-free time encourages outdoor play and exercise. This addresses childhood obesity and sedentary lifestyle concerns.
Grants provide resources to schools without requiring local tax increases. Schools can implement programs without straining existing budgets.
Schools rely heavily on technology for teaching and online resources. Reducing device use could complicate digital learning, especially for remote or hybrid programs.
Grant money may not reach all schools equally. Rural or under-resourced schools might receive insufficient funding for meaningful changes.
Without specific bill details, it's unclear how schools would be held accountable or what 'unplugged' means. Different schools might implement vastly different approaches.
Reducing tech exposure in schools may disadvantage students learning digital skills needed for modern jobs and college.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
