Coachella Valley Unified School District Board of Education meeting, October 8, 2026. The board approved a Prism Reality agreement for a virtual-reality pilot (K6); public comments described the related headset spending as approximately $177,000, though the transcript does not clearly establish the approved amount. The board also approved two adult-education courses related to AI (K2). A proposal to begin paid work with Designing Schools on AI guidance did not receive a second. The board instead voted to send the AI matter back to the policy committee for further consideration; no contract or cost was approved for Designing Schools. Trustees and community members raised concerns about student safety, learning, mental health, data centers, and the environmental effects of AI.
