Educational Technology Review Committee

Fairfax County Public Schools is establishing a new Educational Technology Review Committee (ETRC). The ETRC will serve as an advisory body to division leadership, providing recommendations on the responsible, effective, and equitable use of educational technology, including artificial intelligence use in the FCPS classrooms.

Membership will include parents, caregivers, students, teachers, and school-based administrators, representing elementary, middle, and high school levels. The committee will meet on a regular basis during the school year, with additional working group meetings as needed. Members will be asked to serve a one-year term and may be reappointed.

We are looking for FCPS parent and caregiver representatives, including those with perspectives on accessibility, disability support, and multilingual learner needs. All FCPS parents and caregivers are welcome to express interest, regardless of their level of technology expertise. What matters most is your commitment to students and your willingness to engage thoughtfully on issues that affect their daily learning experiences.

Please fill out this Google form to share why you want to represent Dranesville on this new committee by June 1^st, by 8 p.m.
