Everett Public Schools Special Board Meeting 10.20.2026

Everett Public Schools special board meeting, titled October 20, 2026 (the supplied meeting metadata gives October 21 UTC), included a workshop on the district’s technology and blended-learning plan. Staff described the district’s phased, age-appropriate use of devices, teacher training, screen-time monitoring, family outreach, and use of stakeholder groups to guide technology planning. Discussion also covered the district’s approach to artificial intelligence, including MagicSchool as its only district-approved AI tool and guidance on ethical use, student privacy, and classroom assessment. The district plans to update its technology plan and continue considering emerging technologies; the existing 2022 capital technology levy and plan did not address AI.

No new contracts, bids, spending approvals, or dollar amounts were presented, and no procurement-related motions or votes were taken. Staff reported technology-tool transitions, including Classroom Manager replacing GoGuardian/Classroom Policy and Custodio replacing GoGuardian Parent; these were status updates rather than new award decisions. The agenda was adopted by general consent, and the meeting adjourned.
