California AB903 aims to address the digital divide in K-12 education by integrating technology best practices into local control and accountability.

California AB903 seeks to bridge the digital divide in K-12 education by ensuring equitable access to technology for all pupils. The bill highlights the disparities exposed by the global pandemic, where 65% of families did not own a computing device and 37% of schools did not provide devices for each pupil. It mandates the California Department of Education to develop a questionnaire and conduct surveys to assess technology use in schools. The bill also establishes a School Technology Empowerment Advisory Committee to advise on best practices for technology integration.
