Sep 14, 2026 · Issue 7 · 15 sources, 17 articles

New York City's public schools are temporarily pausing AI use for students from pre-K to grade 8 for 2026–27, and Los Angeles has likewise introduced a ban on student-facing AI tools. According to K-12 Dive, it was "the summer of AI bans", with large districts suspending AI access.
