District lists approved AI tools for students and staff, sets age and teacher‑supervision limits
Summary
Presenter Peter Thorn said approved student tools include Microsoft Copilot chat (13+), Conmigo, Microsoft Reading Coach and content tools; staff tools include Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Teach and Magic School AI (CTE), with human review and transparency required.
The presenter listed specific approved tools and guardrails for student and staff use. "We are expanding student access through approved tools including Microsoft Copilot chat for students 13 and above and older while maintaining policy and privacy expectations," Peter Thorn said, naming Conmigo, Microsoft Reading Coach and other supported products for classroom use.
Thorn emphasized that approved tools are age‑appropriate and used under teacher direction. For staff, he said the district is leaning on Microsoft Copilot as an anchor environment and is also exploring Google NotebookLM and Microsoft’s OneNote notebook tool as secure notebook options. He reiterated that human judgment and teacher approval remain mandatory before any AI‑generated content is used in instruction.
