Board reviews new AI policy on first read; adopts sex‑offender access policy and updates AED/CPR language
Summary
The board held a first read of a proposed generative AI policy and raised questions about tone, privacy and administration of approved AI sources. The board also amended and approved policy JLCJ (AED/CPR wording) and approved policy JL on registered sex‑offender access to campuses.
The Exeter School District board reviewed several policies, advancing some and tabling others for further work.
On a first read, the board examined a new generative artificial intelligence policy. Members praised the effort to address AI but raised concerns about the draft’s length, perceived promotional tone, student and staff privacy protections, and the practicality of maintaining an approved list of district AI sources. Board members asked for a shorter, clearer document focused on permissible uses, enforcement and privacy safeguards; the policy will return to the policy committee for revision and a later vote.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved edits to policy JLCJ (which governs CPR/AED planning). The board struck a confusing line that referred to grades 6–12 (the district is elementary‑only) and adjusted a district naming convention; the amended policy passed on a motion.
The board also adopted policy JL, which establishes procedures for the district’s use of registered sex‑offender information and sets parameters for campus access by registered offenders. Board members noted only minor consistency edits would be made (capitalization of 'District' in policy text).
Administrators and board members said they would continue work on the AI policy and present a concise revised draft for committee and full‑board consideration in the fall.
