At the June 16, 2026 District 90 Board of Education meeting, staff presented an overview of current instructional technology practices, digital tools, and policies, including a teacher survey on classroom technology use and existing AI guidelines. The presentation highlighted existing platforms such as Schoology at RMS, Securly, Gaggle, Apple Classroom, ZenDesk/HelpDesk, and various curriculum-aligned digital tools, as well as mandates for internet safety and computer literacy and the district’s Digital Civics courses for grades 5–8. While there is no explicit new procurement in this document, it shows the district is actively managing a complex K–8 edtech ecosystem and has formalized AI and student data privacy guidance.This creates a context where vendors offering instructional software, AI-aligned tools, professional learning, student data privacy solutions, or assessment platforms may be able to position themselves for future consideration as the district refines its practices. The next useful conversation would focus on how new tools can align with existing policies, reduce barriers noted in the survey, and integrate with Schoology and iPad-based environments without increasing screen time beyond district comfort levels.

Teacher survey (107 responses) details how often and why teachers do and do not use technology, which can guide how vendors frame usage, PD, and screen-time concerns.
