Bend-La Pine Schools creates policy to review tech in classrooms

Our summary

The Bend-La Pine board passed Resolution 2013, directing the district to inventory classroom technology, set standards for each grade band, remove apps without evidence behind them, keep screen use to educational purposes, and favor paper-based reading and writing where possible. Parent coalition Well Wired, formed two years earlier, called it one of the strongest such resolutions it has seen. iPads and AI tools remain in use, and the district says it is continuing a shift in K-5 from one iPad per student to classroom sets that stay at school.
