We are a coalition of parents in St. Tammany Parish advocating for evidence-based, developmentally appropriate technology use in our schools.
We are not anti-technology. We are pro-learning.

What We're Advocating For
Research indicates that students learn best through meaningful interaction—with teachers, peers, books, writing, discussion, movement, and hands-on experiences. Technology should support those experiences, not replace them.
We are asking St. Tammany Parish Schools to adopt district-wide practices that prioritize learning, healthy development, student safety, and human connection.
Intentional Screen Use
Use technology when it provides a clear instructional benefit, while prioritizing non-screen learning when it does not.
Safer, Less Distracting Devices
Protect students from YouTube, gaming, social media, inappropriate content, and other digital distractions on school-issued devices.
Developmentally Appropriate Practices
Set age-appropriate expectations for technology use and preserve screen-free opportunities for reading, writing, play, movement, conversation, and hands-on learning.
Transparency & Accountability
Give families greater visibility into how technology and AI are used in schools, and ensure educational technology is independently evaluated for effectiveness, safety, privacy, and developmental impact.
