ABOUT THAT NY TIMES/HECHLINGER ARTICLE---FROM THE CROTON HARMON DISTRICT, STEPHEN WALKER

Dear Croton-Harmon Community:

Yesterday, an article about technology use in elementary schools that included references to the Croton-Harmon School District was picked up by The New York Times from The Hechinger Report, a nonprofit newsroom that covers education. While the piece raises questions about screen use in schools, it does not fully reflect the broader work our district has been engaged in for some time or the leadership Croton-Harmon has taken in examining this important issue.

When contacted by the reporter at The Hechinger Report, I provided a detailed written response outlining the district’s philosophy and approach to technology in our schools. Because the article did not include the full context of that response, I am sharing it in its entirety below and encourage you to review it. It reflects the message I also delivered in my recent Community Update and Superintendent’s Video on this same topic.
