In a bid to tackle the negative effects of technology on students, the district has introduced 'Tech-Free Tuesdays and Thursdays.' This initiative aims to limit students' exposure to screens, promoting real-world interactions and enhancing mental well-being. Superintendent Dr. Stan Winborne talks with host, Kamiya Estes and highlights the program's potential to improve student engagement and decrease behavioral issues. The tech-free days encourage students to develop interpersonal skills, engage in meaningful conversations, and foster genuine friendships. Amidst growing concerns about the impact of digital media on mental health, this initiative offers a balanced approach, giving students a break from the digital realm. Dr. Winborne also talks about the district's strategic plan and how it drives the work of Granville County Schools.
