About SFIT

Seattle Families for Intentional Tech (SFIT) is a group of Seattle Public Schools parents and caregivers who believe our kids deserve thoughtful, research-informed decisions about technology in their education.

We want to see our kids thrive, build relationships with educators and peers, and develop the deep knowledge and critical thinking skills needed for their futures. That means asking hard questions about how tech is actually being used, what the research shows about its effects, and whether the district's current tech usage prioritizes students' education, safety, and privacy.

We are not anti-tech. We use technology to varying degrees in our own lives and families. This is about demanding that SPS operate at the highest level of intentionality when introducing students to the risks and implications of tech use. We're advocating for clear and public district tech policies that are research-informed, transparent about tradeoffs, and genuinely prioritize student outcomes over vendor partnerships or convenience.
