ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 30, 2025 — School district representatives from across the nation shared differing progress on teaching students about artificial intelligence but warned of a growing digital divide in access and knowledge of AI tools.

Lisa Milenkovic, STEM and computer science supervisor for Broward County Schools in southern Florida, spoke about using AI companions in her district, and the cost disparities it faced.
