According to national surveys, 57% of parents say no one has asked for their input on how AI is used in their child’s school. AI is already shaping how kids learn — often in ways families can’t easily see — and the debate over screens and phones has largely crowded out a more basic question: who gets a say in how districts make AI decisions? In this conversation, a researcher, a national parent-facing organization, and an advocacy network dig into what families are actually experiencing with AI in K-12 schools, where district parent engagement is working and where it’s falling short, and how parents can shape AI policy while there’s still room to influence it.
