Our summary
Parent group Schools Beyond Screens Portland drafted proposed policies asking PPS to end screen-based instruction in K-2, set a 20-minute device limit for grades 3-5, limit high school use by subject, create a committee to review classroom tech, and pause AI for five years. Parents say use varies widely because PPS has guidelines but no single policy. The district has not adopted the proposals, and talks are ongoing.
