Local AI rules
A Los Angeles Times report says LAUSD placed a moratorium on student generative-AI use on district-owned devices for the 2026-27 school year, while teachers were not barred on those devices and no policy for student use on personal devices had been settled in the reporting. This is a secondary-reported district measure, not a recovered official directive; obtain the directive, scope and expiry before making it a definitive policy record. For now, families can ask which device and account restrictions apply; students and teachers should not infer a universal ban. [28]
