Summary
The Woodstock CUSD 200 board approved a first reading of multiple policy revisions at its Jan. 27 meeting, including updates to the district harassment/building policy to add cyberbullying and language addressing AI; board also discussed a classroom 'stoplight' system for AI use.
At the Jan. 27 meeting, the Community Unit School District 200 Board of Education approved a first reading of a set of recommended policy revisions, including a notable update to the harassment/building policy to address cyberbullying and to include language about artificial intelligence.
The presiding speaker read a list of policy numbers for first reading and the board recorded affirmative roll-call responses. The packet and discussion singled out what the presenter called additions to the harassment/building policy "including cyber bullying" and references to "dealing with AI" intended to strengthen the policy.
The board also discussed implementation steps for classroom use of AI: staff described a stoplight system indicating whether AI "can be used," "can be used in part," or "cannot be used," and said teachers are piloting approaches to see what works for instruction and assignments. The district expects to continue testing classroom practices and report back to the board.
The first-reading approval moves the revised policy language forward in the district’s review process; no final adoption language or effective dates for the specific policy changes were recorded in the transcript.
