The conversation underscored a critical issue: students are increasingly reliant on digital devices, which may hinder their ability to write by hand—a skill still necessary for tasks like signing documents. The group acknowledged the need for a balanced approach that incorporates both technology and traditional learning methods, emphasizing the importance of professional development for teachers to effectively integrate these tools into their teaching.
Looking ahead, the district plans to form a committee to further explore these issues, with a focus on gathering input from parents and educators alike. The committee will assess the current technology use and consider potential shifts, such as moving from iPads to Chromebooks, while also evaluating budget implications.
In addition to technology discussions, the meeting touched on the renewal of a charter school contract, with board members preparing to review the criteria for approval in an upcoming meeting. The process will involve a thorough evaluation of the charter school’s performance based on specific state guidelines, ensuring that decisions are made in the best interest of students.
As the district navigates these complex issues, the emphasis remains on fostering an inclusive environment where all voices are heard, ultimately aiming to enhance educational outcomes for students in Eagle Point.
