AT KATONAH-LEWISBORO'S LEARNING CAFE, "When News Enters the Classroom," parents and faculty engaged in conversations about how schools can help students process issues and events in the news. Parents were asked to think back to when they were in school during crisis events, and how they would like to see similar issues handled for their children. Age appropriate strategies, respectful dialogue, and creating an atmosphere of trust and openness were further discussed at a board presentation on "Fostering Civil Discourse in the Classroom".

PUBLIC SCHOOLS MAY BE IMPACTED by today's FCC (Federal Communications Commission) vote to dismantle Net Neutrality (the policy that ensures equal access to all internet content). The removal of this policy means there's nothing to stop internet service providers from blocking or slowing down access to certain content sources. Schools regularly rely on small startup education companies, and the lack of regulation may give an advantage to larger vendors with deep pockets.
