Here's the thing: you probably didn't mean to ask about the Wamego USD 320 school district YouTube channel. You likely meant YouTube as a platform, in which case the answer is complicated—YouTube hosts everything from brilliant educational content to absolute garbage, and its recommendation algorithm is designed to maximize watch time, not child development.
But if you did mean this specific channel, it's harmless institutional content with near-zero entertainment or educational value for anyone outside that Kansas community. The channel itself is fine; YouTube as a delivery mechanism is the problem. Even the most wholesome video will be followed by autoplay suggestions that range from mindless to actively harmful.
Bottom line: Use YouTube Kids with heavy curation for young children, use supervised accounts with restricted mode for tweens, and even then, co-view and talk about what the algorithm is trying to do. This particular channel? It's a non-issue unless you're trying to catch your kid's school concert from out of town.
