A rural Kansas district shares what changed in classrooms and homes after going K–12 with The Screen Guardians.
What happens when an entire school district stops talking about screen time and actually does something about it?
In this episode, we hand the mic to the people who went first. Recorded live on May 13, 2026 before the Kansas Department of Education State Board, you’ll hear Superintendent Paul Larkin, Elementary Principal Liz Plunkett, and parent Taryn Parks from USD 494 in Syracuse, Kansas share exactly what happened when their community brought The Screen Guardians program into every grade, K–12.
This isn’t theory. It’s a real district, a real rollout, and real results — told by the educators and parents who lived it.
In this episode:
- Why a one-time assembly doesn’t work — and what to do instead
- How Syracuse prepared teachers before teaching a single student
- Winning parent trust through radical transparency
- The surprising way kids became the messengers at home
- Teaching brain science so kids understand dopamine, digital footprints, and the echo chamber
- Pairing education with fewer devices — textbooks, handwriting, and tech-free early grades
- Why collective action beats going it alone
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, principal, or board member, this conversation is proof that one community can lead the way.
