Board reviews AI‑use policy draft, seeks clearer staff safeguards
Summary
Board members questioned draft EHBD (AI use) language and asked for clearer processes for staff and student violations before taking policy action next month.
The board reviewed a draft AI‑use policy (EHBD) and related implementation plan at its March 12 meeting and asked administrators to clarify staff safeguards and disciplinary processes before returning the item for a formal vote.
Dr. McGee presented ‘‘draft 2’’ of the AI‑use plan, describing feedback channels used to build the plan and the intent to follow MSBA (Missouri School Boards’ Association) guidance and legal review. Several board members expressed concern about language that could allow discipline, including termination, for staff who violate the policy. One board member contrasted existing safety and confidentiality policies and asked why AI required separate punitive language.
Dr. McGee and others said the draft is intended to translate policy into an operational plan with professional development for students and staff. The board requested clearer procedural language: what constitutes a staff violation, how investigations would proceed, and whether student and staff consequences would be consistent. The item will return for a second read next month after revisions and legal review.
