Board reviews first reading of AI policy proposing 'human-in-the-loop' and 'Traffic Light' vetting
Summary
The board received a first reading of NCSD Policy 5557, which proposes a human-in-the-loop framework, a 'Traffic Light' system for AI tool vetting, and a projected student rollout in 2027–2028; a related regulation would prohibit AI-enabled wearables during instruction to protect FERPA.
Director of Technology Robert Williams presented a first reading of Policy 5557 and updates to Regulation 7363R. Williams said the regulation would prohibit AI-enabled wearables during instruction to maintain FERPA compliance following incidents at PVHS. The proposed Policy 5557 introduces a 'human-in-the-loop' framework and a 'Traffic Light' system to categorize and vet AI tools; a student rollout is projected for 2027–2028. The item was moved to next month's consent agenda for further consideration.
Board members discussed the vetting approach but took no final action on the policy at first reading. The regulation update and policy are intended to balance classroom instructional integrity and student privacy while creating a formal tool-review process. The district presented the changes to ensure FERPA compliance and to establish oversight before wider adoption.
