Danielle Hicks, whose 9-year-old son gets picked on for developmental issues at his public charter school, isn’t happy about a recent trend of states banning student cellphones on K-12 campuses.

California is in the midst of a decade-long and ever-present teacher shortage crisis. Since 2016, the state has invested $1.2 billion to address the issue, and while this infusion of resources seemed to help make a difference initially, there has been a 33% decline in teachers — over 5,300 total — since the 2020-21 school year.

Date &amp; Time: Wednesday, October 30th at 7 pm ET <br><br> Join us for an insightful webinar focused on equipping K12 administrators, teachers, IT directors, and innovation leaders with the knowledge and tools they need to integrate AI literacy into their schools. A panel of expert edtech coaches, professional development trainers, and authors will share effective strategies for training staff in AI literacy, empowering educators to incorporate these skills into their professional practice and classroom teaching.

Threats made against schools on social media have led to closures, postponed activities and several student arrests—including a 10-year-old.
