Board holds first reading of AI policy and adds waiver-revocation procedure
Summary
At a first reading, the Anderson County Board of Education reviewed an AI acceptable-use policy required by law and a recommended change allowing parents to revoke previously filed communication waivers; a second reading is scheduled for July.
The Anderson County Board of Education heard a first reading of updated policies and procedures that included a new acceptable-use policy for artificial intelligence and a recommended change to waiver procedures for parental communications.
District leadership said the AI policy was developed in response to new legal requirements and was formatted with KSBA guidance; the board attorney suggested a minor procedural change to 092324 AP 1 D. The proposed change would explicitly allow a parent who had previously signed a waiver permitting a student to communicate with staff via certain platforms to later revoke that waiver in writing. Under the recommended procedure, the school administrative office would promptly notify any affected employee or volunteer and document who requested and who revoked the waiver so the district has a written record and a clear timeframe for implementation.
Superintendent staff emphasized this was a first reading and that a second reading and possible adoption will occur in July. No formal vote to adopt the AI policy was taken during the meeting.
Next steps: Board members may submit questions before the July second reading; staff will provide the KSBA-formatted policy and the suggested procedure language for 092324 AP 1 D ahead of that meeting.
