Policy committee pulls AI draft for more staff input, plans working group
Summary
Committee members flagged the district's draft AI policy as too prescriptive and agreed to delay its first reading until staff (including Zach) can join a focused discussion; members suggested stopgap handbook language on plagiarism and set follow-up meeting dates.
Committee members raised significant concerns about a sample artificial-intelligence policy and agreed not to put the draft on the board agenda for first reading until staff can provide additional context and join the discussion.
One committee member (S4) said the sample AI policy felt overly prescriptive and recommended bringing Zach into a committee meeting to walk members through the concerns before the policy appears for a first reading. Several members agreed a working-group conversation or an early-September or August 11 meeting at 9:30 a.m. might be necessary to give staff and board members time to align on acceptable scope and flexibility.
Members also discussed short-term measures: drafting specific handbook language for high schools that would prohibit use of AI without teacher permission or that would treat undisclosed AI usage as plagiarism or cheating. The committee asked staff to circulate Zach's email and to propose a timeline for a working group that could produce a revised draft before the new school year.
No final policy decision was made; members directed staff to convene staff input and return a revised timeline and draft language.
