About the research
MagicSchool partnered with Hanover Research to survey 550 full-time K–12 educators and education leaders across the United States. All respondents were closely involved with AI use, policy, purchasing, or decision-making in their school systems.
Their perspectives shape this three-part research series exploring how schools and districts are approaching AI adoption, trust, safety, student and staff use, and platform decisions. Together, the findings offer a focused look at responsible AI implementation across K–12.
