Trousdale County board approves AI policy for classrooms and staff
Summary
The board adopted a district AI policy (TSBA model) requiring teacher and student training and protections for academic integrity; members said the policy will be updated as technology evolves and directed staff to implement training.
The Trousdale County Board of Education voted to adopt a district policy governing the use of artificial intelligence in schools.
The policy is based on a TSBA model and was described at the meeting as an initial framework that will be revised as AI technology and guidance evolve. "We're going to allow the use of AI in our schools; our students have to be taught, trained and talked about the ethics of using AI," the Director of Schools said, explaining that the policy aims to balance instructional use with academic-integrity safeguards.
Board member Miss Towns moved to approve the policy. The motion was seconded and the board approved the AI policy by unanimous voice vote.
Discussion emphasized teacher training, student guidance on academic honesty and the district’s intent to update the policy periodically as tools and best practices change.
