Schools Beyond Screens Makes National News!Founder Lila Byock & SBS featured at NBC News; Speak at upcoming Board Meeting; Join our letter campaign with template; Free Horvath/Cherkin webinar
In case you missed it: this week, NBC News published an article prominently featuring SBS founder Lila Byock and highlighting the work of the organization in pushing back against LAUSD:
“Byock created a parent coalition called Schools Beyond Screens, which is organizing in WhatsApp groups, petition drives and actions at school board meetings and demanding meetings with district administrators, pressuring them to pull back on the school-mandated screen time.”
We blew the doors off November’s LAUSD EdTech Listening Sessions, and our sources inside the district have told us it’s crucial to keep up momentum by turning out for December’s upcoming Board meetings.
Please consider making your voice heard!
It’s a two-minute speaking commitment & you can come in-person (with other SBS members!) or call in from home/work.
We've drafted a template letter for everyone to send to the school board & superintendent. Make sure you insert your name and school info where indicated. Let’s flood their inboxes.
