Cybersecurity remains the leading technology concern for U.S. school districts, while adoption of formal artificial intelligence guidelines has accelerated sharply over the past year, according to the Consortium for School Networking’s State of EdTech 2026 report. The survey of more than 600 K-12 technology leaders found that nearly 80% of districts now have AI guidelines in place, up from 57% in 2025, as schools increasingly focus on managing technology safely and effectively amid rising cyber threats and tighter budgets. District leaders said budget constraints, limited resources, staffing shortages, and insufficient professional development remain major barriers to implementing technology-driven learning environments, while procurement processes are becoming more focused on security, interoperability, and instructional value. The report also found that many districts continue to face staffing shortages in cybersecurity and instructional technology support, even as schools adopt more structured processes for vetting digital tools and monitoring risks associated with students’ personal device usage.
