Community member urges district to develop a stand-alone AI policy; board says it is monitoring state guidance
Summary
During a first reading of social media and AI guidance, community member John Carroll urged the district to adopt a dedicated AI policy covering permitted tools, filtering and bias; board members said they are educating themselves and will watch statewide policy developments.
During the first reading of proposed board policy on social media and student use of artificial intelligence in classwork, community member John Carroll (who said he has worked in high-tech for more than 40 years) addressed the board and recommended the district adopt a specific AI policy.
Carroll asked what AI tools and filters would be permitted, how the district would prevent biased outputs, and how AI would be allowed in math, writing and history assignments. "What filters are used on the AI tools?" he asked, stressing the risk of unfiltered or inaccurate outputs. Board members responded that the subject is evolving, that the California School Boards Association and districts across the state are already drafting guidance, and that staff and trustees will continue educational outreach and likely review draft policies.
The item was informational at this stage; no formal policy adoption occurred. Board members thanked Carroll for the input and noted several upcoming training opportunities where AI policy drafts will be discussed.
