Board holds first reading of digital citizenship policy with AI guidance
Summary
At first reading the board reviewed Policy 2023 (digital citizenship), discussing guidance on AI use in student work, distinction between augmentation and plagiarism, and cyberbullying provisions; the board voted to adopt the first reading.
The Granite Falls School Board reviewed the first reading of Policy 2023 (digital citizenship) and discussed additions that address communications developed with artificial intelligence as well as cyberbullying and internet-safety provisions.
Director Beach said the policy should make clear that students cannot simply copy and paste AI output into school assignments and present it as original work. The chair elaborated that AI is best used for augmentation—accelerating learning or drafting a first version that students then refine in their own words.
Board members framed the policy change as a pragmatic update to an "evolving landscape." After discussion, a motion to adopt the first reading was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote.
The board asked staff to continue clarifying language on academic integrity, teacher guidance and student-facing instruction on appropriate AI use and source verification. No final policy adoption occurred at the meeting; the item was advanced as a first reading for future consideration.
