Abstract
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) will convene a virtual listening session on screen use in schools, as it relates to the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC's) E-Rate program. The FCC has initiated a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), which includes a public comment period, to examine whether the E-Rate program is serving the long-term interests of children--or instead encouraging excessive screen-based instruction in K-12 schools at the expense of child development and academic outcomes (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/08/14/2026-16590/fcc- to-review-e-rate-program-to-ensure-congresss-vision). This session invites parents, students, educators, and child development specialists to provide input into the NPRM process.
