Board opens first reading of CSBA policy updates, including general guidance on artificial intelligence

The superintendent presented the board with the California School Boards Association (CSBA) June policy update and recommended edits for the district’s board policies. The package was opened for a first reading, and staff asked trustees and the public to review and suggest amendments ahead of a second reading and potential adoption at the next meeting.

Staff noted that CSBA’s AI policy recommendation provides a general framework rather than detailed operational do’s and don’ts. “It doesn’t get into the nitty gritty... but sets a general groundwork,” the superintendent said. Trustees were offered the opportunity to suggest edits or ask questions before the policies return to the board for a second reading and vote.

No formal action was taken at this meeting beyond the first reading; staff will incorporate board and public input and bring the revised policies back for a second reading and final action.
