Pequannock board reviews AI literacy plan draft and a policy‑support subscription from Strauss
Loading...
Summary
Board members heard a working AI plan and a report on a policy support subscription from Strauss that could provide policy alerts, manual audits and attorney review; the AI plan will be condensed before moving forward.
District leaders briefed the Pequannock Township Board on a working artificial‑intelligence plan intended to accompany a policy and on an expanded service offering from the district’s policy vendor.
Dr. Portis said the AI plan under development is a working document shaped by students, teachers and administrators and is intended to pair closely with district policy. “The AI plan is supposed to really work in concert with the policy,” he said, noting the plan will be refined and shortened so it is more user friendly for staff and families.
An administrator (S12) described an external "C framework" presented in a webinar that provides K–12 guidance for AI literacy and grade‑level outcomes. The district has created a shared Google Classroom for resources and will add the framework to backup materials for the board.
On the policy side, Dr. Portis described an offering from Strauss that provides policy alerts, unlimited policy consultation and an audit of manuals; administration reported the service appears to be rolled into existing policy fees. The district will consider using Strauss’ audit and consultation services to ensure manuals and policies are aligned and complete.
What happens next: administrators will condense the AI plan for board review, drop the external AI framework into backup, and consider Strauss’ policy audit/consultation for manual review. No formal policy vote was taken at the April 13 meeting.
