Better learning. Fewer distractions. Real safeguards.
Who We Are
Founded by LAUSD parents and teachers, SBS advocates for classroom technology that is student-centered rather than corporate-sponsored.
We push for school policies grounded in independent research, public accountability, and developmentally appropriate practice.
What We Want
We are calling for districts to review existing tech products and policies, block harmful and non-educational distractions, require independent standards for efficacy, create real opt-out pathways, and involve parents, teachers, and students in setting the rules.
We support technology that is intentional, limited, transparent, and genuinely useful—not technology adopted by default.
What We Believe
Children should come first in their own education, ahead of corporate interests and market trends.
Technology should facilitate learning, not inhibit it.
Technology should support teachers, not sideline them.
Technology should serve schools, not extract from them.
“Ed tech and AI cannot replace the role of teachers, librarians and counselors in our children’s lives. Our kids thrive because of the relationships, care, mentorship and human connection — not screens or new software.”
— Sandra Martinez Roe, Schools Beyond Screens
