The Cell Phone Social Media Task Force, recipient Amazon, 882.28, provides research to a school district task force on the negative impact of phone-based childhood (p20). The Anxious Generation program, recipient Barnes, 1,680.00, addresses rising anxiety and depression in youth (p25). The FY2025 report certifies a second Anxious Generation program at 1,052.10 to distribute The Anxious Generation to school faculty and the Board of Education and to share research on the harmful effects of a phone-based childhood (pp10 to 11). It reports 1,680.00 and 882.00 spent on the two FY2024 programs (pp14 to 15). The books show Amazon check 4401 paid 882.28 for Anxious Generation books on 08/22/2024. Check 4510 paid 1,680.00 and 1,052.10 on 09/12/2024 as a reimbursement for books for the schools, which the ledger labels substance abuse books.
