The District of Columbia Council convened its Committee of the Whole on October 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. for a public hearing focused on the amount of technology and screen time permitted in district schools. Parents, teachers and other community members were invited to share their views on potential screen‑time policies.
Council members are currently reviewing guidelines that determine how much technology should be used in schools across the district. The hearing aims to collect stakeholder input as part of that review process.
