Santa Maria-Bonita seeks parent feedback on student technology use

July 14, 2026 - 04:23

The Santa Maria-Bonita School District is reaching out to parents and guardians for their input on how students use technology, with a districtwide survey set to close on Friday, July 17. The survey aims to gather feedback on everything from screen time habits to the types of devices and online platforms students access at home and in the classroom. District officials say the responses will help shape future policies on digital learning, internet safety, and the balance between technology and traditional instruction.

Parents are encouraged to complete the survey before the deadline, as the data will be used to better understand the challenges and benefits of tech use among students. The district has not yet released specific questions, but the focus is on how families manage digital tools and what support they need from schools. This effort comes as many districts across the state reevaluate their approach to technology, especially after the shift to remote learning during the pandemic. The survey is open to all families with children enrolled in the district, and responses will remain anonymous.
