Hello Parents of children in the BSD,

I am part of the Beaverton School District Safe Tech Coalition, a group of concerned parents/community members/doctors/etc. helping to raise awareness about technology use in Beaverton schools. The FINAL school board meeting of the 2025/2026 school calendar is this coming week, and we wanted to share a few important updates and opportunities to make your voice heard.

1. Upcoming School Board Meeting & Public Comment

The next Beaverton School Board meeting is coming up next week on Tuesday, June 9 at 7PM. We encourage supporters to attend, submit public comment, or watch the meeting. Are you interested in speaking? Please reach out and I can walk you through the steps. It's not hard, and we will be there to support you!

As we have seen over the past several months, community engagement is making a difference. District leaders are listening, and continued parent participation matters.

2. District Screen Time Update

The district recently published an update regarding its technology review process. 

While we are encouraged that the district is acknowledging parent concerns and discussing screen time, the update does not include a specific implementation timeline beyond "fall," nor does it provide concrete details regarding screen time limits, accountability measures, or how changes will be implemented across schools.

We remain hopeful that the district will provide additional clarity and measurable commitments in the coming months! Please reach out to the board and your district rep, school administration to voice your concerns. You can easily find your school board rep here: https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/school-board/board-members

3. Parent Feedback Survey – Deadline June 11

The district is currently collecting parent feedback through its annual survey. The survey closes June 11.

Question 15 includes an opportunity to provide written feedback. If technology use, screen time, digital learning tools, or device policies are important to your family, we encourage you to share your thoughts. This is one of the most direct ways for district leadership to hear from parents.

4. Help Us Reach 1,000 Signatures

We are incredibly close to an important milestone. We have a petition, which outlines our goals for safer use of tech in classrooms, and we currently have 921 signatures, which means we need just 79 more signatures to reach our goal of 1,000 before the next board meeting. Please consider signing and sharing the petition with friends, neighbors, family members, and other Beaverton School District parents. Link is here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/make-beaverton-school-district-devices-safe-for-students

Thank you for your support, advocacy, and willingness to engage in this important conversation. Together, we can continue working toward thoughtful technology policies that support both learning and student well-being.

Thank you,
