Board requests staff briefing on classroom uses of artificial intelligence
Summary
Board member Mr. Ross asked district staff how the Central Valley School District is using artificial intelligence at different grade levels; administrators said staff regularly introduce AI tools at meetings, that AI will be considered under the comprehensive plan, and that the district will prepare a K–2 focused briefing and consider summer training for staff.
At the April 8 workshop, Mr. Ross raised questions about how artificial intelligence is being used across grade levels in the district and asked staff to provide clearer information.
"We always get stuff on our iPad here regarding how districts are using AI in their district," Mr. Ross said, asking whether the district’s experience has been "good, bad, or different." District staff responded that they would prepare a brief presentation showing classroom applications and that administrators have been introducing AI tools at administrative meetings. Staff noted that some tools are new to the district and that there is a learning curve, and they mentioned workshops and summer training opportunities for staff.
Staff also said AI is being considered under the district’s comprehensive plan as the district evaluates tools to prepare students and teachers for a changing technological environment. The administration indicated it could provide a K–2 look at classroom AI uses and send more staff to trainings as they become available.
No changes to curriculum or policy were adopted at the workshop; the transcript records the board’s request that staff return with a briefing and potential next steps.
