School‑issued laptops increasingly ship with AI features embedded at the search/OS level; districts may lack the technical or contractual levers to fully disable them, and parents may not be notified that children are being exposed to conversational AI in class. Lawsuits and emergency mental‑health interventions are beginning to surface as a result. — This raises immediate policy questions about parental consent, procurement contracts, K–12 digital governance, and mandatory safety standards for AI used with minors.
