District to craft generative-AI guidance, review K–5 screen time after staff focus groups
Summary
Dr. Priola told the board the district closed its AI-use survey and completed staff focus groups; two more focus groups with parents and students are planned to inform generative-AI guidance and K–5 screen-time recommendations for teachers.
Dr. Priola (introduced by the chair) updated the board on technology work that will lead to two staff-facing products: guidance on generative-AI use and K–5 screen-time guidance for EdTech.
On generative AI, Dr. Priola said the district survey has closed and staff have completed two focus groups; he said staff are "still parsing through that data" and that two more focus groups — one with parents and one with students — are scheduled to inform recommended guidance for staff and students.
On screen time, he described an initiative to quantify required classroom screen time, compare local usage with national norms, and evaluate the efficacy of the programs the district uses; the work will produce a report and guidance that the board and community can review.
Next steps: staff will complete the remaining focus groups, finalize the analysis and return with recommended policy language or guidance for board review and potential adoption.
