As taxpayers and parents, we should look for more than just an acknowledgment when concerns about student cognitive development and data security are presented. #ExeterNH #SchoolBoard #Education https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/school-board/2026-08-03/

Longer-form draft.
At the August 3 Exeter School Board meeting, a parent raised significant concerns regarding the district's use of one-to-one technology (iPads and Chromebooks) for elementary students. The testimony highlighted potential risks to student development, including weakened motor skills, reduced attention spans, and emotional dysregulation. Additionally, the parent raised questions about data privacy regarding educational software like 'i-Ready.' While the Board acknowledged the testimony and noted that technology use is a widespread national conversation, they did not commit to any specific action, such as a policy review or the formation of a committee to evaluate these impacts. For parents concerned about the long-term cognitive effects of early tech exposure, the Board's response lacked a clear path toward resolution or investigation. In other business, the Board unanimously approved a $195,737.19 LED lighting and solar harvesting project for Lincoln Street School. The project will be funded through interest-free on-bill financing via Unitil. The Director of Facilities is currently confirming whether there are any penalties for early prepayment of this financing. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/school-board/2026-08-03/ #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH
