The American Federation of Teachers has unveiled a new artificial intelligence (AI) strategy calling for tighter restrictions on classroom technology, including bans on most screen use in early grades, limits on student-facing AI tools, and a proposed “Big Tech tax” to help offset the economic impact of AI. AFT President Randi Weingarten said schools should roll back digital technology use after what she described as a large-scale experiment on children, arguing that teachers, parents, and school districts cannot manage the rapid expansion of education technology alone. The union is proposing bans on all screen use through third grade unless required for accessibility needs, prohibiting AI-powered tutoring and other student-facing AI tools in elementary schools, and banning AI companion chatbots for students under 16. The plan also calls for expanded teacher training on AI, stronger federal oversight of AI safety and privacy standards, and greater independent research into the effects of AI in education. The proposals come less than a year after AFT partnered with companies including Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic to launch a $23m National Academy for AI Instruction aimed at training teachers and developing safety standards for classroom AI tools.

Texas
A New York Times investigation, conducted with the San Antonio Express-News, found that Texas school police used force against students in more than 2,600 recorded incidents from January 2022 through December 2025. The investigation said officers pepper-sprayed, tackled, handcuffed, arrested and Tasered children, often after minor misconduct such as vaping, dress-code violations, fights or talking back. The expansion followed post-Uvalde laws requiring police on campuses, but the New York Times found weak oversight, inconsistent data and policies often copied from municipal police departments. Some students suffered bruises, concussions or lasting fear.

Florida
Florida lawmakers have finalized a $114.5bn state budget, with a final vote scheduled for tomorrow after extended negotiations. The new budget is approximately $500m smaller than the previous year's $115.1bn budget. Senate President Ben Albritton, R-Wauchula, said: “We are holding the line on spending, living within our means and striking the right balance between spending and saving.” The proposal includes record funding for K-12 education, teacher pay, and significant investments in infrastructure and public safety. However, Democrats, including House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell, criticized the budget for not addressing affordability issues, stating: “It is unacceptable that this is the second year in a row... that addresses the affordability crisis that so many Floridians are facing.” The budget is expected to pass both chambers before heading to Gov. Ron DeSantis for review.
