Study Session - 2026-09-24 Audio Recording

This study session held by the MISD Communications on September 24, 2026, focused extensively on educational technology, particularly the use of screen time and artificial intelligence (AI) in schools. The discussion involved instructional technology coaches and board members exploring the balance between technology use and educational goals, with a strong emphasis on intentionality and the impact of technology on student learning. While no specific procurement decisions or contract awards were made, the conversation touched on the district's current technology tools, app usage, and the need for clear guidance and policies regarding screen time limits and AI integration. The board considered the potential formation of specialized groups to address AI policy and the importance of ongoing review and adaptation of technology use in education to align with community values and educational effectiveness.
