Our summary
Oregon teachers and families are questioning how much class time now runs through devices, a pattern many trace to pandemic-era 1:1 rollouts. Lake Oswego plans to stop sending school Chromebooks home with elementary students starting fall 2026, and Beaverton has expanded parent controls and blocked many non-school sites. A Beaverton parent coalition is seeking K-3 screen limits, classroom-only Chromebooks for middle school, and parent consent before AI tools.
