Starting early 2027, Gemini and Google Search become opt-in for student accounts, and schools can't keep one without the other Google is about to give school administrators a choice that isn’t really much of a choice. Starting early next year, its AI tools will be turned off by default for K-12 student accounts, and schools that keep AI disabled will lose Google Search along with it. That means a district that wants to keep chatbots out of the classroom may also have to keep the world’s most popular search engine out. Google announced the policy on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
