Join us for Better Together, a dynamic panel discussion that unites educators from METAA, MassCUE, MSLA, CES, CSTA, and MASCD to explore the critical question, "Whose responsibility is it to keep K-12 students safe?" The answer: "All of us!" This engaging conversation will dive into pressing issues such as cell phone bans in schools, access to social media, data privacy, and cybersecurity. The panel will focus on how we can collectively prioritize the digital, physical, and psychological well-being of students, ensuring that schools remain safe environments for learning. With expert insights and a human-centered approach to security, this discussion will offer valuable perspectives on safeguarding students both in and outside of the classroom.
