St Clair County Schools board adopts model policy on responsible use of AI
Summary
The St Clair County Schools board adopted a model policy on responsible use of artificial intelligence provided by the Minnesota School Boards Association, directing staff to train employees and safeguard student and employee data; the policy passed by voice vote.
The St Clair County Schools Board of Education voted to adopt a model policy on the responsible use of artificial intelligence at its March meeting. The policy, provided by the Minnesota School Boards Association, is intended to guide how AI tools are used in teaching, learning and operations while safeguarding student and employee data privacy and security.
Board members discussed implementation steps before the vote. A member asked for clarity on staff training and outreach, saying, "It said in the policy that you'll have meetings or give out information to the staffs. They know what policy is and how to address it and use it in their classrooms." The board indicated that administrators will provide guidance so teachers know how to use AI tools in instruction and to explain expectations to students.
The board moved and seconded the measure and adopted the model policy by voice vote. The resolution and the model policy are included in the meeting's supporting documentation; the board did not specify a detailed implementation timetable during the meeting. The district will present procedures and training plans to the board as the administration develops them.
