Microsoft and partners in February 2026 launch a two-year Washington community of practice to pilot AI in K–12 schools, convening over 150 educators and administrators. The program includes Microsoft’s Elevate Washington grants—$75,000 for 10 districts—and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation support for 10 additional districts, plus up to $25,000 for consulting, running through June 2027. It aims to bridge capacity and equity gaps.
