Board discusses draft AI acceptable‑use for students and readies revisions to four policies ahead of school year
Summary
Board members discussed a draft acceptable‑use policy for generative AI focused on students, and administrators flagged four policies for first reading before school starts: field trips, grading, class rank and pediculosis management (lice).
Board members discussed an acceptable‑use statement for generative artificial intelligence and a set of policy updates the administration expects to bring to the board for first reading before the start of the school year.
A board member said the draft policy would regulate student use of generative AI and noted internal discussion about staff use; the board member said the district supports staff using AI as a productivity tool but recommended prohibitions in high‑sensitivity uses — for example, not to use AI for Individualized Education Program (IEP) writing or any task involving protected student data until the district develops internal AI tools and controls.
The presenter said four policies are targeted for near‑term revision and first readings at the August meeting: policy 23‑40 (field trips) to adjust transportation language; policy 26‑24 (grading system) with changes to grading philosophy; policy 54‑30 (class rank) with clarifying language; and policy 84‑54 (management, pediculosis) addressing lice‑management practices per nursing recommendations. The presenter said nursing staff provided best‑practice recommendations and that the district must remain consistent with law while balancing community service and efficiency.
The board approved the policy block on the consent agenda; the transcript shows the grouped policy motion passed by roll call. The discussion in the public session did not include final policy text; administrators said the revised policies would be ready for first readings in August.
