Daviess County board reviews 2024–26 technology plan with emphasis on equity and classroom AI
Summary
At its June 17 luncheon meeting in Owensboro, the Daviess County Board of Education heard a presentation on the district's 2024'026 technology plan focusing on equitable support systems, student involvement, responsible AI use, and standardizing classroom technology.
The Daviess County Board of Education on June 17 heard an update on the district's 2024'026 Technology Plan aimed at establishing equitable and sustainable technology support, increasing student involvement, and integrating safe, responsible uses of artificial intelligence in classroom work. The presentation was given at the district office in Owensboro by Aaron Yeiser, Instructional Technology Coordinator.
The plan, Yeiser told the board, was developed from input by school technology leaders, principals and peers across the state and will prioritize three main areas: building equitable and sustainable support systems across the district; empowering creative student work products with safe and responsible AI integration; and refreshing and standardizing classroom technology. The update was presented as part of the district's preparation for the 2025-26 school year.
Superintendent Charles Broughton also said district leadership has been reviewing new state legislation affecting schools and is discussing implementation and communication plans to ensure compliance and to act in students' best interests. Broughton opened his remarks by noting the district is preparing for the 2025-26 school year and thanked central office leadership and staff for their efforts. "The summer is flying by and I hope that each of you'—along with our DCPS staff, students, and families'is having a safe and enjoyable break," he said.
Board members did not take formal action on the technology plan at the June 17 luncheon; the presentation served as an informational update. The board's agenda included a number of items on which action may be sought at a later meeting, including personnel changes, policy updates and bids related to district operations. No public comment was offered at the meeting.
The district office meeting room at 1622 Southeastern Parkway, Owensboro, hosted the session, which was called to order by Board Chair James Morgan and attended by all five board members.
Implementation details, funding sources, and timelines for specific technology purchases or AI training were not specified during the presentation.
