Three Rivers board holds first reading of AI-use policy, plans teacher and student training
Summary
The Three Rivers Fulton School District Board of Education heard a first reading of proposed policy DBEC on artificial intelligence use, discussed a committee-developed "stoplight" tool for approved AI, and signaled plans for training and family outreach; no vote was taken.
The Three Rivers Fulton School District Board of Education on Feb. 11 held a first reading of proposed policy DBEC, which would establish procedures for vetting, approving and monitoring artificial-intelligence tools used in classrooms and to protect staff and student data.
Board members and staff said the policy adopts language from an Ohio School Boards Association model and adds district-specific guidance. The district has formed an AI committee and plans a classroom-level “stoplight” system that labels tools as red (no AI), yellow (limited use) or green (approved use), staff said.
Megan (staff member) said the policy will require training for anyone who uses AI in schoolwork and procedures to record suspected misuse. “We want to encourage this use, but use it appropriately,” a board member said during the presentation, adding that the district wants to avoid repeating past mistakes made during early internet adoption.
District staff described the committee’s intent to vet tools for bias, discrimination and harassment risks and to protect staff and student data. The policy text reviewed at the meeting includes provisions intended to prevent students from presenting AI-generated work as their own and to require consistent review as technology evolves.
Board members discussed outreach plans: the district aims to present the stoplight system at the high school scheduling fair in March so families can see examples and ask whether particular AI tools are appropriate for assignments. Staff said the committee met the afternoon of Feb. 11 and is finalizing the stoplight guidance.
No motion or vote occurred; the item was presented as a first reading and will return for further consideration. The board did not adopt the policy at this meeting; staff said training and the committee’s vetting procedures will continue to be developed before a future action.
The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for March; staff said the policy will proceed through the district’s review process and return for a later reading and potential vote.
