Lewisburg administrators presented a group of curricular pilots and subscriptions for board approval, including an enterprise educational AI platform called Magic School, language‑learning software and an online vendor to cover a teacher's maternity leave.

Staff described Magic School as an AI platform with about 80 instructional tools that administrators can enable selectively and push to teachers; examples included guided essay‑writing prompts, lesson‑planning tools and a policy handbook chatbot that could answer queries about district policies. Administrators said the district will deploy the platform during professional development and limit student access to teacher‑released tools on a timed basis.

Board members asked whether the vendor trains third‑party language models on district content and whether teacher or student work could become the vendor’s intellectual property. Administrators said the vendor asserts it expunges student data and does not add district content to broader language models, and they agreed to have the district solicitor review contract language to ensure data is air‑gapped and that intellectual property rights are explicit.

Other items on the pilot list include Speakable for world‑language practice, an online World of Learning Institute course to cover a teacher on maternity leave, and a three‑year Patton autism initiative to build an anchor classroom and provide coaching to case managers and a board‑certified behavior analyst. Staff said some pilots have already been tested this year and the packet included brief evaluations of prior pilots.

Trustees asked for focused contract review on data protections and ownership of teacher‑created materials before subscriptions are finalized; staff said they would have legal counsel examine the fine print and report back.
