Blue Tier 2: Tiered access to screens by grade band playbook

This priority sets a grade-band framework for school-issued devices including hands-on, print-based instruction in the earliest grades, shared cart-based devices in middle school, and one-to-one devices only in high school with real caregiver opt-in and safeguards. It pairs naturally with Healthy Defaults and the Social Media Use Policy, but it doesn’t require either one: a district can adopt this on its own.

Blue Tier 1: Social Media Use Policy Playbook

This priority moves social media out of the school’s official communication toolkit entirely, which means no staff-to-student contact on Instagram or TikTok, no team group chats on Snapchat, no student photos posted to a public school account without real parental consent. It also takes a closer look at the way social media is accessed and used at school by students by blocking social media access on school-issued devices, and preventing social media use for learning.

Blue Tier: Pick up the pace playbooks: Social Media Use Policy · Tiered Access to Screens by Grade Band · Tech AdvisoryCommittee (TAC)

Blue tier priorities ask a bit more of a district than Green: they touch handbooks, device management, and vendor review. They can be adopted locally, on a district's own timeline.
