When the LVUSD Board of Education gathers for its very important next meeting on Sept. 15, it should focus less on choosing sides and more on establishing sensible guardrails. Age-appropriate screen limits, greater use of printed materials and handwriting, restrictions on non-educational content, stronger privacy protections, clear AI policies and transparent reporting of classroom screen time would be reasonable places to start. Technology is here to stay. The challenge isn’t eliminating screens. It’s ensuring they never replace the human relationships, critical thinking and inspired teaching that define a great education.
