Board moves AI-use policy to second reading after debate on 'full' AI limits
Summary
The board advanced policy 815.1 on generative AI in education to second reading after trustees debated wording around a four-level scale and requested staff training and tighter language on the highest-use category.
Elizabethtown trustees moved policy 815.1, which sets a four-level scale for generative AI classroom use, to second reading after extended discussion about the policy’s language and implementation.
Trustees and administrators described how AI could be used as a tool for data analysis, image generation, and as a thought partner, but several trustees cautioned against allowing an assignment to be completed entirely by AI. Board members suggested rewording the highest-permission category (level 4) and asked administration to schedule training sessions for trustees and staff before the policy returns for final adoption.
Miss Moffett and Dr. Smith outlined legitimate classroom uses such as generating graphics, assisting with data analysis, and supporting student problem-solving while requiring human oversight. The board agreed to advance the policy to second reading so administration can draft regulations, propose clearer wording for the top level and provide training examples demonstrating levels 1–4 in practice.
Next steps: Administration will develop implementing regulations, provide examples and training for trustees and staff, and return the policy for second reading with any recommended wording changes.
