Securly lets K-12 districts block Google AI Overviews and AI Mode in student searches

Securly, a K-12 student digital safety company, has extended its "Restrict AI Mode" setting to block Google's AI Overview as well as AI Mode. With the setting on, students see standard Google search results without AI-generated summaries. AI Overview appears automatically at the top of results on ordinary searches, so students in schools that block AI tools could still see AI answers. Images, Videos, News and SafeSearch settings are unaffected. Administrators can switch the setting on or off by policy in the Filter Policy Editor. A district could keep AI off for younger students while allowing it for an older class. "A search engine shouldn't decide when AI shows up in front of students; districts should," said chief technology officer Spence Mallder. Between December 2025 and October 2026, Securly's AI Transparency tool gave 1,806 districts in 39 states visibility into more than 6.2 million student AI conversations.
