Don’t miss our session at Midwest Tech Talk 2026 “Screen Time in Schools: Data, Policy, and What Missouri IT Leaders Need to Do Next”!
The screen time debate is heating up — and in Missouri, it’s moving toward policy.
With lawmakers advancing the Student Screen-Time Standards Act (HB 2230/SB 1351), districts are under pressure to define and manage K–5 device use. That responsibility is landing on IT.
In this session, Lightspeed’s Jake de la Garrigue cuts through the noise with real district data and a clear path forward.
You’ll learn:
- What student device usage actually looks like
- How screen time differs across grade levels
- What counts as meaningful vs. passive use
- How to lead screen time conversations with data — not opinions
- How to set guidelines and build guardrails that create a balanced environment
Walk away ready to guide the conversation, prepare for potential mandates, and drive more intentional use of technology.
The session will be held in the Band Room.
