Episode Details

Washoe County School Board votes to investigate the real impact of screen time on students, sparked by parent outcry over the widely used i-Ready program—used for daily lessons and testing from kindergarten through eighth grade. With findings due by November and a full report by February, the board’s decision could determine whether to renew a multimillion-dollar contract. While some parents, like Brandi Vesco, question the study’s lack of peer review and timing, school officials defend i-Ready as a personalized learning tool that helps struggling students—and clarify students are tested three times yearly, not six. The outcome could reshape how schools use digital tools in classrooms.
