We have invited all BOE candidates to a community forum focused on our mission.
Please share questions related to intentional technology use, phone-free schools, AI, or anything else that feels important to you regarding technology and our children. (see link below)
Our intention for this forum is to collect and curate questions from our members and the general community around these important topics and provide each candidate with a space to respond.
CCC Mission:
📵 Keep smartphones and social media out of childhood
🏫 Advocate for phone-free schools and intentional technology use
🌳 Foster a community culture that values independence, free play, and responsibility in the real world
This forum aims to discuss our second objective.
Some areas our community has expressed interest in include:
* Following the NYS bell-to-bell phone law in our high school
* Reducing overall student screen time and 1:1 device dependence
* Increasing the use of physical learning resources such as books, workbooks, and hands-on materials
* AI use and policies
* Decreasing Educational Technology (EdTech) which is different than Technology Education (Tech Ed)
* Your input will help guide the questions asked during the forum.
Please note: This forum is organized by the Croton Community Collective. It is not affiliated with the school district or the PTA and does not replace the League of Women Voters forum traditionally held at CHHS.
*** We are incredibly thankful to Mother Jenny for donating the use of St. Augustine's Parish Hall for this event.
