### NTIA Listening Session on Screen-Based Instruction in K-12 Schools

*Notice* — Commerce Department · National Telecommunications and Information Administration

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) will convene a virtual listening session on screen use in schools, as it relates to the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC's) E-Rate program. The FCC has initiated a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), which includes a public comment period, to examine whether the E-Rate program is serving the long-term interests of children--or instead encouraging excessive screen-based instruction in K-12 schools at the expense of child development and academic outcomes (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/08/14/2026-16590/fcc- to-review-e-rate-program-to-ensure-congresss-vision). This session invites parents, students, educators, and child development specialists to provide input into the NPRM process.

Counts are arithmetic over published fields, dates are printed as filed, and titles are verbatim.

are machine-written from those same fields and are labelled where they appear.
