Action News also spoke with Pooja Garg, of Wynnewood, who has a middle school student in the district. She said her main concern is the lack of filters on the devices.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a free-for-all environment to some extent right now,\u201d she said. \u201cOn the Chromebook, there really aren\u2019t any filters. They can access absolutely anything on the internet.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Right now, parents say they are waiting to hear back from school district officials.\n<\/p>\n
When Action News reached out to school officials for comment, we were referred to remarks made by the superintendent at a policy meeting on Monday, April 13.\n <\/p>\n
During the meeting, Superintendent Dr. Frank Ranelli spoke about his biggest takeaways from the community meeting held with parents in March.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re concerned about screen time, so we\u2019ll work with our teachers more and more to lessen that,\u201d he said. \u201cTo make sure there\u2019s more interaction, make sure there\u2019s more playtime, make sure there\u2019s more pen and paper.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Dr. Ranelli said the district can also work with parents to restrict the use of electronic devices at home.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cParents would be able to impose more filters, and students wouldn\u2019t be able to go on YouTube when they walked in the house,\u201d he explained.\n<\/p>\n
