2026.09.15 LVUSD School Board Meeting

The Las Virgenes Unified School District held a school board meeting on September 15, 2026, focusing extensively on technology use and artificial intelligence (AI) policies in classrooms. The board discussed proposed amendments to the district's technology and AI policies, emphasizing limits on screen time for students, especially in early grades, and restrictions on AI tool usage. Key procurement-related topics included the adoption and approval process for educational technology and AI tools, with a moratorium on new AI applications until proper vetting is completed. The board debated specific screen time limits by grade level, device usage policies, and content filtering, including blocking access to platforms like YouTube and social media on district devices. Public comments highlighted concerns about excessive screen time, the impact of AI on student learning and critical thinking, and the need for more rigorous evaluation of technology's educational effectiveness. The board also reviewed staffing and enrollment reports but the primary focus remained on technology policy development. The meeting concluded with plans to refine policies and bring them back for further action, reflecting a cautious and evidence-based approach to technology procurement and implementation in the district.
