Requires guidelines on use of instructional technology to be developed by DOE and policy to be adopted by governing body of public school.

This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Education to create guidelines for the use of instructional technology in public schools, which local school boards must then adopt. The proposed rules aim to ensure that digital tools are used intentionally to support learning rather than replace direct teacher instruction or encourage passive screen time. Specifically, the guidelines must address how technology impacts student well-being and focus on age-appropriate integration that prioritizes active engagement over convenience. By defining terms like "instructional technology" and "passive screen use," the law seeks to provide a framework for balancing digital resources with traditional educational practices.
