Tune in to hear insights on how some states are ramping up cell phone bans in schools and the implications this has for students and staff alike, including the extension to smartwatches, beepers, and pagers!

The guys also delve into a pivotal Supreme Court case regarding the E-rate program, unpacking the ramifications of the recent ruling that classifies E-rate as federal dollars. Consider how this may influence the next critical case questioning the constitutionality of E-rate itself.

The episode also covers pressing cybersecurity issues, such as Google's upcoming changes to MFA, and explores the liability surrounding personal data stored on school-issued devices—a must-listen for understanding what districts need to consider to protect both themselves and their staff.
