Bill overview
This bill requires California schools to carefully evaluate and select digital supplemental instructional materials before using them or spending public funds on them. Schools must establish a workgroup including teachers, staff, and potentially parents to assess the materials’ cost, impact on student well-being, and alignment with academic standards. The bill also directs the State Department of Education to create best practices for evaluating educational technology, ensuring that schools consider factors like user interface, learning design, data privacy, and equity when making decisions.
