Board holds first reading on generative-AI policy; member objects to fundraising and stipend items
Summary
The board placed several policies on first reading, including intent to draft a generative-AI policy for classroom and staff use. One board member objected to items related to stipend and fundraising activities for volunteer coaches and said those matters should be discussed publicly in policy meetings.
The board conducted a first reading of multiple policies, regulations and bylaws listed on the agenda. A board member summarized the intent to create guidance for use of generative artificial intelligence in schools, saying the district planned to "discuss putting [a policy] together" to balance instructional uses and academic integrity.
At the same time, one member raised objections to fundraising activities and certain stipend items, calling for policy meetings to be public so community concerns about coach fundraising and stipend approvals can be heard. "Policy 9181, the fundraising activities to pay our volunteer coaches are really out of control at this point," the member said and announced a 'no' vote on specific stipend items while voting yes on the remainder of the personnel package.
