Pelham officials highlight AI guidelines and say K–5 Chromebook use averages 17 minutes a day
Summary
District leaders described three years of work on AI guidelines for instruction and cited analytics showing K–5 students spend an average of 17 minutes per day on school Chromebooks—data the district says will inform elementary screen‑time policy.
At the May 6 meeting, staff and trustees discussed two related technology topics: district guidance for integrating artificial intelligence in instruction, and elementary screen‑time analytics. The assistant superintendent leading Personal Growth & Achievement summarized multi‑year work with technology staff, teachers and parents on “guardrails” for AI in instruction.
The assistant superintendent and the director of technology said the district has examined analytics and concluded that "the average amount of time an elementary student is on their Chromebooks is 17 minutes" per day, an average across K–5 that they said would guide policies to ensure instructional use is intentional. Board members emphasized the distinction between managing elementary screen time and preparing secondary students to use AI responsibly.
