Board policy committee to bring revised graduation requirements to trustees May 11; AI policy deferred to fall
Summary
The board policy committee recommended updates to district policy 6400 to align with statewide Chapter 3 graduation standards and said revisions will come to the full board for first reading on May 11, 2026; a separate AI policy discussion was postponed to fall 2026.
The Natrona County School District #1 board policy committee reported proposed revisions to district policy 6400 that reflect the Wyoming State Board's Chapter 3 graduation standards and related rules. Committee members said the changes will be presented to the full board for first reading at the May 11, 2026 meeting.
The revisions aim to establish clear statewide graduation standards and clarify the district's use of competency-based equivalency examinations and flexibilities. The committee noted that some requirements previously in district assessment policy will be moved into a separate Chapter 4 rule set covering K-12 assessments.
Committee members also said artificial intelligence policy discussion will be scheduled for fall 2026, observing that rapid changes in AI tools make near-term policy fragile. The committee emphasized that the district will revisit AI policy when more stable guidance and practical considerations are available.
Next step: the revised board policy 6400 will appear for first reading at the May 11, 2026 board meeting; trustees and the public may review and comment at that meeting before any subsequent action.
