We are a group of Frederick County parents, teachers, students, and community members who want to ensure Frederick County Public Schools are a safe, distraction-free learning environment for all children. We launched our Schools Beyond Screens chapter in October 2026 and are rapidly growing!

The problem

For the first time in recent human history, children are falling cognitively behind previous generations. Children's attention spans, critical thinking skills, and cognitive scores are dropping as screen use in schools increases.

The solution

Remove any technologies used in schools that have not yet been proven to effectively enhance children's learning, starting with those that have been shown to harm children's learning.

The approach

Build a coalition of parents, teachers, students, and community members who will help school districts make smarter decisions about technology in schools.
