# 10/12/2026 Regular Meeting of the TTSD School Board

The October 12, 2026 regular meeting of the Tigard-Tualatin School District Board included debate about student screen time, AI, and technology policy, followed by two procurement actions. The board approved a ProAre Therapy contract, not to exceed $225,000, for substitute speech-language pathology and one-to-one nursing staff. District staff said the arrangement uses funds already allocated for the staffing and involves shifting funds from the ESD to direct district contracting; it was not additional spending. The motion was approved, though the vote count is unclear in the transcript.

The board also approved purchasing 3,000 Acer Chromebooks, with setup services and warranty, through OETC for an amount not to exceed $1,795,950. The devices are intended for classroom carts rather than individual student assignment, with full implementation planned for the next school year; staff cited bond funding and potential future price increases. After a motion to table the item pending a clearer technology policy, the board voted 4–1 to approve the purchase. Public speakers and board members raised concerns about screen time, AI, student data privacy, and the need for policy guidance, but no related policy action was recorded.
