District outlines AI integration and e‑technology updates; pen testing complete and E‑rate renewed
Summary
Staff proposed steps to expand secure AI access and PD, integrate AI literacy into K–8 curriculum and develop formal AI policy. The e‑technology update reported completion of internal penetration testing and an E‑rate Category‑2 five‑year renewal with a per‑student figure of $201.57.
District technology staff and curriculum leaders briefed the committee on recommended next steps for artificial‑intelligence work and on recent e‑technology developments.
AI recommendations: Staff proposed three priority areas — expand professional access to secure AI tools and targeted staff professional development, integrate age‑appropriate AI literacy across kindergarten through eighth‑grade curriculum, and draft district policy to guide AI use. The presentation emphasized data security and containment: staff said they will prioritize secure, vendor‑backed environments and professional development to ensure staff use tools safely and effectively.
"Data security is so critical in our world today," a presenting staff member said while outlining the need for contained AI access and strong professional development.
E‑technology: Mr. Webb reported internal penetration testing is complete and that results will be presented to the board in a safety‑and‑security executive session. He also said the FCC renewed E‑rate Category 2 for a five‑year cycle and that the district’s per‑student Category‑2 figure for the funding period is $201.57, explaining the number is set against an enrollment baseline for the funding term.
Staff said they will present the full internal‑testing report to the board in executive session and will include a summary of recommended security measures in public materials where appropriate. They also previewed a summer technology internship program to be described in the committee’s forthcoming work session materials.
What to watch next: draft AI policy language, the executive‑session cybersecurity report and any proposed changes to secure‑access tools for staff and students.
