The California Federation of Teachers on Wednesday urged Gov. Gavin Newsom to order a three-year pause on artificial intelligence in K-8 public school classrooms, citing concerns that schools are adopting AI tools without adequate protections for students and educators. The call followed Newsom’s September executive order directing state agencies to develop AI safety regulations, including a potential “kill switch” for certain AI programs during emergencies.

Educators aren’t prepared to supervise AI use, while students may struggle to tell which tools are safe or harmful,

A school building does more than house an education. It can expand opportunities for students — or limit what’s possible for them. For too many of California’s charter public schools, the cost of securing adequate facilities has become a hindrance rather than a foundation for student success. Consider Magnolia Public Schools in Southern California, a […]
