Board to take up classroom technology rules; administrators say no screen-time limits or district AI tools

Day-to-day

What happened

At the Oct 13, 2026 meeting, parents, a student and teachers asked for less screen time and more limits on classroom devices, including in grades K-2. Administrators said the district has no set screen-time limits and does not give students generative AI tools, though some approved apps have AI features. Board members said the topic will go to a policy meeting.

Why it matters to families

Families do not yet have a written rule on classroom screen time or student use of AI. A policy could change how often young students use devices.

The evidence

The Oct 13 meeting summary records the public comments, the administrators' statements and the board's plan to send the topic to the policy committee. No policy has been drafted in the collected record.
