During a recent board meeting, members discussed the implementation of eFlow devices in schools, highlighting their effectiveness in enhancing security measures. One board member praised the system, noting its successful use at a recent conference attended by 6,000 participants, where similar devices were employed to ensure safety. The board expressed appreciation for the ongoing efforts to streamline security processes as the school year progresses.

The conversation shifted to the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, with board members sharing insights from a recent District 1 AASB meeting. They emphasized the need for policies to address the challenges posed by AI, particularly regarding students' writing skills. Concerns were raised about students relying on AI to generate written content, which could hinder their learning. To combat this, the board plans to organize a conference for teachers to help them recognize AI usage among students.

Additionally, the discussion touched on the security risks associated with AI technology, particularly voice-activated systems that could potentially be misused for malicious purposes, such as making bomb threats. Board members acknowledged the dual challenges posed by AI—both in educational contexts and in maintaining school safety. They underscored the importance of adapting security measures to address these emerging threats while leveraging the benefits of AI in the classroom.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, but not before members reiterated their commitment to addressing these critical issues as they continue to evolve.
