Community Conversation: Cell Phones, Screen Time & Our Young People

The USD 383 Board of Education is calling on families, teachers, coaches, youth organizations, faith-based groups, and all who support young people to join us in creating awareness of the negative impacts of screen time and cell phone use in children and teens. Reducing screen dependence will take a shared commitment to educate families, promote healthier habits, and provide kids with engaging, real-world alternatives to digital entertainment and socialization.
To foster this conversation, the USD 383 Board of Education is hosting five meetings between spring break and the end of this school year. These gatherings will explore the impact of cell phone use and screen time, behaviors local educators are seeing in our district’s buildings, guidance provided by a recent Blue Ribbon Task Force organized by the Kansas State Board of Education, and discussion about how to change this situation in our community. Anyone in the community is invited to attend any of the meetings. All meetings will take place at 6 pm and are expected to last about an hour:
• March 25 -- Manhattan High School, Rezac Auditorium
• April 3 -- Anthony Middle School Cafeteria
• April 9 -- Eisenhower Middle School Cafeteria
• April 22 -- Amanda Arnold Elementary School Cafeteria
• April 24 -- Northview Elementary Multi-Purpose Room
