ADA spokeswoman for the Eanes Independent School District said the school system added more Internet security measures after the incident with Edwards’s son. The school system prevents students in the fifth grade and younger from searching for images on Google, said Claudia McWhorter, the spokeswoman. Roughly half of class time is spent on the devices, with elementary school students using them 40 percent of the time and high school students 58 percent of the time, according to the study’s preliminary findings. The school system gives students an iPad or MacBook starting in third grade. The school system does not have a director who oversees the program across the district.
