Technology Advisory Committee

Learner-Centered Technology Advisory Committee

GUSD Learner-Centered Technology Advisory Committee brings together parents and guardians across the district to discuss the use of technology in schools and provide recommendations to inform Board of Education discussions and decisions. The committee includes two parent/guardian representatives from each of the five Board of Education trustee areas, selected by lottery.  

The committee will discuss technology use across grade levels, with a focus on priorities identified through the September 2026 parent/guardian survey, including: 

  • Screen time during the school day and for homework 
  • Student access to take-home devices 
  • Balancing technology with hands-on, non-digital learning 
  • Student use of artificial intelligence (AI) 
  • Use of technology for games and entertainment
