SPS Superintendent Shuldiner on classroom tech policy and school mergers

Starting today, no more Minecraft in most Seattle classrooms. It’s part of a technology overhaul that includes new limits on YouTube and AI chatbots. We catch up with SPS Superintendent Ben Shuldiner to talk about the changes. Plus, we hear about next steps on potential legal action against the new ban on trans girls in girls sports, I-638, and get an update on a plan to merge up to 21 schools.
