School division proposes edits to acceptable-use policy to address AI, cites executive order
Summary
School staff proposed updates to the district’s telecommunications and acceptable-use policies to address ethical AI use, student data protection and alignment with Governor Youngkin’s Executive Order 30.
District staff presented proposed edits to Policy 6-36, Regulation 6-36 and the acceptable-use policy to address artificial intelligence, data protection and the integration of AI into classrooms.
Doctor Faust (staff member) told the board the edits are intended to reflect current classroom practice and technology trends and to align district rules with Governor Youngkin’s Executive Order 30 on ethical AI use and data protection. Faust said the changes would add language on ethical AI use and student-data safeguards.
No formal vote was taken on the policy edits during the meeting; staff said they were presenting the draft changes and were available to answer questions.
Why it matters: School districts that integrate AI-powered tools must balance instructional innovation with student privacy and ethical use. The proposed edits would clarify acceptable classroom practices and data safeguards in Chesapeake Public Schools.
What’s next: Staff will continue work on the draft policy language and bring revisions back to the board for later consideration.
