A bill for an act directing the department of education to convene a working group to study the impact of technology on the cognitive function and academic performance of students.

SF 2335 directs Iowa's Department of Education, with the Department of Health and Human Services, to form a working group to study how school-provided technology (like laptops, online learning systems, and classroom presentations) affects students' cognitive function and academic performance. The working group, including educators, mental health professionals, and parents, must examine research and submit findings and recommendations by December 2026. The report will focus on best practices to address potential negative impacts on students' attention, learning ability, and social development. This bill does not change current technology use but mandates a formal study to inform future educational decisions.
