Superintendent to convene technology and AI committees as district drafts guidance
Summary
The district will convene a staff technology committee and a broader community technology/AI group to develop a master plan and guidance; AI guidance is being drafted for handbook and policies and will be iterated with teachers, parents and students.
The superintendent updated the committee on district planning around technology and artificial intelligence. The update described two parallel efforts: a district technology committee (staff-focused) to perform data work and policy review, and a broader, mixed stakeholder technology committee—with parents, teachers, students, administrators and a school‑committee representative—to develop a master plan and serve as a public feedback loop.
Superintendent and staff said AI policy language has been added to handbook drafts as a starting point, but that the subject is fast‑moving and will require iterative updates. The district plans summer and fall work to convene stakeholders, collect fact‑based input, and prepare policy drafts for the committee’s review. Committee members urged frequent updates and faster revisions for AI policies given rapid change.
The district emphasized a desire to align facts, communicate consistently with families and staff, and partner with community groups already working on intentional technology in schools. The district committed to returning with a packaged plan that includes policy updates, community engagement and teacher supports.
