AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Starting with the 2027-2028 school year, Utah's State Board of Education must offer a digital skills course for 7th or 8th graders covering topics such as social media and mental health, artificial intelligence literacy, cybersecurity, misinformation and media evaluation, screen time management, cyberbullying prevention, and digital privacy. The bill also allows the state superintendent to create an advisory tech council — with members the superintendent selects — to recommend standards, curriculum, and professional development for technology education, and it removes a previously required task force and advisory committee from the existing Digital Teaching and Learning Grant Program.
