Santa Barbara Santa Maria San Luis Obispo, CA, October 30, 2026 — The Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD) has initiated the ‘Tech with Intent Survey’ as a means to solicit feedback from its community. The survey aims to capture the experiences of students, families, and school staff concerning the integration of classroom technology, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, and the promotion of digital balance within the educational environment.

This initiative seeks to understand the current landscape of digital tools and their impact on learning and well-being across the district. By gathering diverse perspectives, SBUSD intends to gain insights into how technology is being utilized in classrooms and its effect on students’ daily routines and academic performance. The district also aims to explore the evolving role of AI in education and how it is perceived and experienced by different stakeholders.

The feedback collected through the ‘Tech with Intent Survey’ is designated to play a crucial role in the formulation of future district policies. These policies will likely address the responsible use of technology, guidelines for AI integration, and strategies to foster a healthy digital balance for all members of the SBUSD community. The specific details of the policies to be developed have not yet been released, as they are contingent upon the outcomes of this feedback collection phase.

The survey is open to students, families, and staff members who are part of the Santa Barbara Unified School District. The district has not provided specific timelines for when the survey will conclude or when the new policies are expected to be implemented. Further information regarding the survey’s duration and the subsequent policy development process is anticipated from the district.
