Nation’s Two Largest Districts Reimpose AI Restrictions in Classrooms

TL;DR Summary
New York City and Los Angeles Unified School Districts have moved to restrict generative AI use for the 2026-27 school year: NYC bans student-facing AI in K–8 and limits high school tools to a approved set, while LAUSD imposes a one-year moratorium on AI on district devices for all students. Both districts had previously loosened rules and now face continued advocacy from parent-teacher-student coalitions as they work toward longer-term policies, pilots, and safeguards with metrics to assess AI tools.
