    Hello. My name is Gail Entrekin and I am a grandparent and caregiver of an OUSD kindergartener, and I urge the Board to approve this resolution. I have watched the children in my care become restless, irritable, and withdrawn after long stretches on their school devices — and homework often means even more screen time at night. Families are doing their best to set limits at home, but we need the District to be a partner, not a source of additional screen exposure. This resolution asks for something modest and sensible: evidence-based, grade-appropriate guidelines, an end to recreational device use at school, and protections for students who need devices under an IEP or 504 plan. I respectfully ask for your yes vote.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hello! I write in support of this ed tech resolution, and I respectfully ask the Board to consider going further. Neighboring Los Angeles Unified has already implemented a comprehensive screen policy district-wide, going beyond guidelines to enforceable limits on devices during school hours. If the research cited in this resolution is compelling enough to end recreational Chromebook use — and it is — it also justifies studying stronger measures: clear daily caps on instructional screen time by grade band, and firm timelines for reducing 1:1 device dependence. I urge the Board to pass this resolution and to direct the Superintendent to evaluate LAUSD-style policies as part of the guideline development due back to the Board this school year. Thank you for your time,
    Katy Entrekin, OUSD K Mom

    I support this resolution on tech use because it prepares students for the modern world the right way. Students absolutely need to learn to use technology, including AI tools — but with grade-based, research-supported, developmentally appropriate guidelines, not unlimited access. I support the timeline requiring guidelines to come back to the Board for adoption by the end of the 2026–2027 school year, mandatory professional learning for site administrators, and a planned reduction of 1:1 device use beginning in 2027–2028. This is a measured, responsible roadmap. I urge the board to support this resolution. Before K-12 learning is impacted further by general AI consumption, we must hold for profit tech companies accountable for learning guardrails that doesn’t push responsible terms of use on children and parents like they did with social media. Cognitive research studies are not complete yet and we truly don’t know the risks on human brains on the right level of exposure.

    As an OUSD parent, I ask the Board to approve this edtech resolution. The school day should not add unnecessary screen time to our kids’ school day. I especially support ending recreational Chromebook use at lunch, recess, and classroom free time. Those moments should be for play, conversation, and rest - the things kids actually need to thrive. This resolution doesn't remove technology from learning; it simply ensures devices are used purposefully and safely. Please pass this resolution.

    As an OUSD parent, I also ask the Board to approve this resolution. I have seen firsthand the effect that screen time has on my very young son and it is disheartening to think that he has access to something at school that I try so hard to limit in the home - even for myself! I think placing limits on how and when screens are used, particularly in elementary school is vital for the education and health of our students. Please pass this resolution.

    As an OUSD parent, I strongly support this resolution. I also want to flag one thing: making sure teachers have the support they need to make these changes work.

    Many lessons and programs today are built around devices and screens, and moving away from that will take more than a policy change. Teachers will need training, planning time, and support in the classroom especially elementary and newer educators who may be making some of the biggest shifts in how they teach.

    The resolution calls for professional learning for site administrators, but teachers need to be part of that investment too. Reducing screen dependence is ultimately about strengthening teaching and creating more meaningful learning experiences for students. And if we want that transition to be successful, we have to give teachers the time and resources to do it well. I urge the Board to commit to adequate professional development and planning time for teachers before implementation begins in 2027–2028.

    We need common sense and balance in our approach to tech in classrooms. As an OUSD parent of a 5th grader, I support this resolution to help our kids develop informed and healthy habits around technology use.

    I'm a parent of a child in OUSD, and I support this resolution, particularly the parts around chromebooks not being available during recess and lunch. Kids need to be moving their bodies, not on screens. I support evidence-based guidelines for device usage, and think it should be used by teachers where appropriate but not as a substitution for teaching.

    I am parent to an OUSD 2nd and 3rd grader. I ask the Board to approve this edtech resolution. The school day should not add unnecessary screen time to our kids’ school day. I especially support ending recreational Chromebook use at lunch, recess, and classroom free time. Those moments should be for play, conversation, and rest - the things kids actually need to thrive. I would like for OUSD to explore and further research age-appropriate tech use across the line, including the questionable use of i-Ready. Please pass this resolution and do more to curtail unnecessary tech in classrooms.

    I understand that we need to utilize technology and provide our teachers with assistance, especially in large classes with children requiring different types of learning and at different levels. However, screen use extremely overused and iReady is extremely detrimental for children's confidence, brain function, and social engagement. My child has suffered significantly because of iReady. Multiple other children we know are suffering! Please pass this resolution and move towards regulating screen use!

    This is long overdue. The use of screens at schools is way out of hand and does not benefit our kids. This is a thoughtful resolution that will require some guardrails necessary for the safety, mental health, and good education of our students.

    I am an OUSD parent of a 3rd and 6th grader, I ask the Board to approve this resolution. The school day should not add unnecessary screen time to our kids’ school day. I have been disappointed and angered at how much screen time is pushed on kids when they learn much better with direct instruction. Recreational use should be completely prohibited, and applications like i-Ready are totally overrated; they may serve some use as assessment tools but should not be used as a replacement for teachers. This resolution doesn't remove technology from learning; it simply ensures devices are used purposefully and safely. Please pass this resolution.

    As a parent of 2 OUSD first graders, I ask the Board to approve this edtech resolution. I especially support ending recreational Chromebook use at lunch, recess, and classroom free time. This critical developmental stage is already rife with attention and readiness challenges, and these moments should be for collaborative play, practicing communal skills like conversation and turn taking, and rest - the things kids actually need to thrive - not siloed consumption of gamified educational material. This resolution doesn't remove technology from learning; it simply ensures devices are used purposefully and safely. Please pass this resolution.
