In Tampa Bay, Hillsborough County Schools and Pasco County Schools are revising classroom screen time policies for early elementary grades. The changes follow remote learning during the pandemic that increased students’ use of digital devices and expanded the number of educational platforms used in daily instruction. Under the new policy, Hillsborough will remove i‑Ready, Amira and Imagine Learning from daily instruction in kindergarten through second grade, replacing them with printed books, handwriting practice, classroom discussion and other physical materials. Students in grades three through five will continue to use digital programs, but only for 30 to 45 minutes per week per platform, and computers will remain available for testing and other teacher‑determined activities. Pasco County, led by Superintendent John Legg, has adopted a guidance titled “Learning First: Limited Screens, Maximum Learning,” which limits kindergarten and first‑grade students to roughly 30 minutes of computer use per day and retains devices for diagnostic testing, assistive technology and research. Both districts describe the shift as aligning instruction with developmental needs rather than imposing a technology restriction. Florida’s Department of Education has not set statewide limits on classroom screen time, and recent updates to its Digital Classrooms policy provide no age‑based expectations or measurable standards. Other countries, such as Sweden and Denmark, have introduced similar restrictions in response to assessment results and concerns about distraction, though they retain digital tools for specific instructional purposes. The districts plan to evaluate the impact of the policy at the end of the school year, reporting on the amount of time spent on books and handwriting, software costs and any observable changes in student work, while Florida’s Education Commissioner Henry Mack may use similar data in future statewide updates.
