Good morning! It’s Melissa with Chalkbeat Tennessee, here with your Wednesday roundup.
Has Memphis ended it years-long student laptop policy?
That’s the question Bri Hatch has been chasing down for several weeks. Bri received tips that one Memphis high school community was taken by surprise last month when school started but personal laptops were not assigned to students as usual.
After Chalkbeat Tennessee pushed for answers, the district said it is reconsidering its 1:1 device policy. But it’s not clear how exactly policy changes are being applied across the district, and parents have some concerns.
Is your school experiencing a similar digital device policy change? You can share your experience with us by replying directly to this email or reaching out to Bri at [email protected].
Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.
