This is an estimated number based on national averages. According to a report by the National Center for Education Statistics and Bureau of Justice, about 20% of students aged 12-18 experienced bullying. Among those, 15% were bullied online or by text. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), school-based bullying prevention programs can decrease bullying by up to 25%.

This is an estimated number based on national averages. A study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that 45% of U.S. adolescents said they were online "almost constantly." Excessive screen time can lead to sleep disturbances, decreased academic performance, and other health issues. A study in the journal "Pediatrics" found that parental involvement, including setting screen-time limits, can effectively reduce excessive screen time by 20%.

This is an estimated number based on national averages. The Pew Research Center reported that 59% of U.S. teens have experienced abusive online behaviors. The Cyberbullying Research Center states that awareness and digital citizenship programs can reduce online abuse incidents by 15%.

This is the total number of incidents avoided in your community across cyber bullying, screen time and social media online behaviors based on our estimated incidents from national averages.

Pew Research indicates significant engagement of teens with social media and digital devices, with many teens reporting that these tools distract them at times and can affect their social interactions and academic performance. The actual percentage could vary based on local demographics and specific student behaviors, but your estimate provides a starting point that reflects broader national trends concerning the negative aspects of excessive screen time

Multiplying the total student population by the 5% estimated absenteeism rate gives a tangible number to school districts that can reflect on how pervasive the issue of screen time-related absenteeism might be. This approach quantifies the potential scale of the problem, making it easier for stakeholders to understand and address the implications of digital distractions on student attendance

Research suggests that proactive engagement with parents and students about the consequences of excessive screen use, including potential impacts on sleep and anxiety, can lead to modest improvements in attendance. Programs that focus on education around screen time management are crucial, as they align with findings where interventions in digital habits have shown to improve overall student well-being and school participation​

This figure highlights the potential return on investment for districts that implement programs aiming to curb excessive screen time, which not only benefits educational outcomes but also supports financial sustainability for schools. This estimation serves as a compelling argument for the adoption of such programs, especially when considering the broader educational funding mechanisms
