Board reviews first-draft AI policy, considers task force and grade-level guidance
Summary
Administrators presented a first-draft AI policy developed with PSBA and counsel; board members suggested options including prohibiting AI below grade 9, forming a teacher-inclusive task force, and annually disclosing AI tools used by the district.
The board reviewed an initial draft AI policy April 14 that administrators prepared using language from the Pennsylvania School Boards Association and district counsel.
Mrs. Wilson summarized the draft and invited feedback; board members proposed several possible additions: restricting some AI use below ninth grade, forming an AI task force made up of teachers and administrators to monitor evolving practice, requiring annual public disclosure of district AI tools, and ensuring spot checks or human review for high-stakes decisions influenced by AI. One public commenter with current AI training urged beginning age-appropriate conversations about ethics before ninth grade.
The policy remains in draft form. Administration will incorporate board feedback, consider recommended task-force membership and public-disclosure language, and return with a revised policy draft.
