Summary
San Diego Unified School District is cracking down on classroom screen time, banning video streaming and gaming on district laptops starting this fall, while forming a committee to craft grade-specific rules and restrict unapproved AI tools. This move reflects a nationwide reckoning on tech’s role in education, sparked by pandemic-era overuse, as districts seek to balance learning with mental wellness. Critics argue the district’s approach is too lenient compared to LA Unified, pushing for stronger policies. The district’s cautious strategy includes input from educators and researchers, with detailed guidelines expected by winter break—and by next year, plans for AI and ad-free app approvals plus parental opt-outs for devices going home.
