TECHNOLOGY & AI

Technology should support learning, not replace it.

AUHSD’s growing reliance on online learning platforms and excessive screen-based instruction has raised concerns among many parents and educators about student engagement, attention spans, literacy development, and mental health.

Germaine supports thoughtful and balanced use of technology in the classroom while ensuring that students continue receiving high-quality, teacher-led instruction.

Germaine’s Priorities:

  • Prioritize in-person instruction and student engagement

  • Reduce overreliance on screen-based learning

  • Ensure technology enhances — not replaces — teaching

  • Promote responsible and transparent use of AI tools

  • Focus district resources on literacy, academics, and classroom support

  • Protect students from distractions and harmful online content

Artificial intelligence and educational technology should be tools that support teachers and students — not distractions from the core mission of education.
