Our kids need thoughtful guardrails around tech use at schools. The recent Meta settlement has made this clear, products are designed for addiction. The rampant deployment of AI is adding new challenges for another generation to grapple with and I don’t want my kids to be the test case. The people who design these products send their kids to private schools that ban them. OUSD has no evidence-based guidelines on 1:1 device use, even as research links excessive classroom screen time to lower achievement, anxiety, and reduced attention span. This resolution takes a balanced approach: grade-based guidelines built with teachers, an end to recreational device use at lunch and recess, and evaluation of curricula for addictive, game-like design. It also fully protects access for students whose IEPs or 504 plans require devices.

Please listen to the growing body of evidence about the harms these products cause, and show how OUSD leads the way in educational rigor and protection of children. Thank you!
