Roosevelt Nivens, the superintendent of Lamar Consolidated ISD in Texas, was honored as the 2026 National Superintendent of the Year during the National Conference on Education in Nashville, Tennessee on Thursday. Nivens, who has led the district since 2021, emphasized the importance of student advocacy, commenting: "When students walk into my district, their last name becomes Nivens, and that means whatever they need is what we're going to give them." Under his leadership, the district has experienced a 23% increase in enrollment, driven by local housing growth. Nivens called on fellow superintendents to prioritize students' needs, asserting that they require adults who believe in them. The award, presented by AASA, The School Superintendents Association, recognizes superintendents based on their leadership, communication skills, professionalism, and community involvement. A $10,000 scholarship will be awarded in Nivens' name to a student from his district or his alma mater.

California
Elise Choi, a high school junior and policy director for GENup, advocates for the integration of digital wellness into California's health education curriculum. With 94% of California youth reporting mental health challenges, Choi emphasizes the need for education on the impacts of technology, urging: "We need to talk about the harms encountered in the digital world." The California Department of Education's recent AI guidance is a step forward, but it lacks funding and does not address the mental and emotional effects of technology. Choi calls for practical skills training, including understanding app design, managing online conflicts, and adopting healthy screen time habits. The American Psychological Association and the U.S. Surgeon General have also highlighted the importance of digital literacy education to support student well-being. Choi's personal experience with a social media fast has shown her the benefits of reduced screen time, reinforcing her belief in the need for a cultural shift towards mindful technology use.
