The district plans to use these findings to develop technology policies and establish a workgroup of teachers, students, parents, administrators, and industry experts to study the issue. The move comes amid concerns about the potential for generative AI to disrupt educational outcomes and contribute to district's rising capital outlays, including a $2.5 million laptop program for the 2025‑26 academic year. Parent advocacy groups argue that increased screen time diminishes critical thinking skills, increases students' attention spans, and increases costs. The discussion is also concurrent with state-level legal battles over election integrity and the role of federal government in steering local education and election procedures.
