District staff outlines exploratory AI/computer science pathway under policy 1.15
Summary
Dr. Aiken told the committee the district will pilot an exploratory AI/computer science pathway this year—covering programming basics, data science, machine learning, generative AI and AI ethics—now that a computer science teacher has been hired.
Dr. Aiken described an exploratory AI/computer science pathway the district will pilot under policy 1.15. The presentation framed the step as an inaugural action now that the district has hired a computer science teacher after a multi-year effort to staff the position.
Dr. Aiken said the exploratory pathway will include some programming alongside instruction in how AI is coded, data science and machine learning, plus discussion of AI ethics and generative AI. “We’re gonna kinda start this in exploring this,” Dr. Aiken said, describing the plan as a launch point for curriculum development this year.
Staff characterized the offering as exploratory rather than a final program: the pathway will be developed this year and staff will keep the board apprised as the course and policy work evolves. No formal action or adoption occurred at the meeting; staff noted this presentation as the first step under policy 1.15.
