A new Kansas law bans personal devices in schools during the day, prompting the district to draft a matching policy with limited exceptions. Parents, including advocate Kim Whitman, push for clearer rules, arguing school-issued devices can meet most needs—and worry the current policy may fall short. Meanwhile, the board also previews an AI classroom policy, recognizing AI’s growing role and planning a community committee to guide implementation. With feedback still being sought, the district aims to balance legal requirements, parental input, and tech evolution—all while keeping students’ learning at the center.
