Board reviews artificial intelligence enforcement plan; staff to upload procedure to state by July 1
Summary
The district presented an artificial intelligence enforcement plan outlining monitoring, staff and student training, platform approval and student-data protections; the plan was procedural and did not require board action.
The Hardeman County Board of Education received a presentation of an artificial intelligence enforcement plan for the 2025-26 school year that outlines monitoring, training and platform-approval procedures.
Dr. Smith, director of schools, described the plan as a procedural document that "lays out how we're going to monitor AIUs, train staff, train students, track usage, keeping that student data safe." She said the plan defines how the district will approve any artificial intelligence platforms that teachers use and includes safeguards for academic integrity.
Board members and staff treated the plan as a procedural requirement rather than a policy requiring a vote. Dr. Smith told the board the district must upload the enforcement plan to the state by July 1.
Why it matters: The plan governs how the district will permit, monitor and approve AI tools in classrooms and training programs, and it sets data-protection and academic-integrity expectations ahead of the new school year.
The plan, as presented, will be the district's working document for rollout and staff/student training; any specific platform approvals will be brought forward for action when required.
