The SMUSD Human-Centered Technology Plan establishes a framework for integrating technology with a primary focus on student learning and well-being. The plan outlines an adoption roadmap from 2026 to 2027, emphasizing intentional technology use guided by American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations, the development of an AI Literacy Framework, and the implementation of responsible use guidelines for generative AI tools. Key priorities include setting specific device usage policies for TK, elementary, and secondary levels, enhancing classroom and parental controls, and ensuring technology acquisition and utilization are regularly reviewed for educational efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and data privacy. The ultimate goal is to adopt a refreshed Strategic Promise with this framework embedded by June 30, 2027.
The board received presentations regarding logistics for the WPMS satellite campus and the role of the Budget Advisory Committee. Key action items included the adoption of the Local Control Accountability Plan, the 2026-2027 budget, and the 2025-2026 budget report. The board approved a resolution to establish annual special taxes for several community facilities districts. Additionally, the board approved amendments to employment agreements for the Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent, and Assistant Superintendents. Other approved items included resolutions regarding spending priorities for the Education Protection Account and compliance with GASB Statement #54, along with the rejection of a claim and a settlement agreement for a special education case.
This resolution commits the San Marcos Unified School District to develop and embed a Human-Centered Technology plan within its Strategic Plan adoption by June 30, 2027. The plan focuses on balancing the benefits of instructional technology with the harms of excessive screen time, prioritizing student learning, growth in graduate competencies, and overall well-being. Key initiatives include maintaining existing device restrictions, implementing a 'Stay at School' model for Chromebooks, limiting non-instructional device use, restricting internet access outside school hours, developing an AI Literacy Scope and Sequence, and providing enhanced parental control tools, with ongoing review of technology usage practices.
