Summary

After a parent raised concerns about AI grading of MCAS essays, the Technology Subcommittee reported plans for community forums on Oct. 21 and 27 to gather input and develop an AI-in-education policy while awaiting statewide guidance.

A parent at the Oct. 6 meeting raised concerns about the use of artificial intelligence to score MCAS essays, saying such tools could be inaccurate or biased. Mayor Christenson acknowledged the comment and the committee said it would consider the concern as it develops local policy.

Mr. Gray, reporting for the Technology Subcommittee, summarized a Sept. 29 roundtable on AI and learning and said the subcommittee and district leadership are planning community forums to gather public input on AI in education. Mr. Gray said forums were scheduled for Oct. 21 and Oct. 27, and the Superintendent said the district will align local expectations with forthcoming statewide guidance.

The committee did not adopt a formal AI policy at the meeting; members described the forums as an initial step to collect community input and refine policy options.
