Sanford Langager, a guest at the Roberts School District No. 5 board meeting on Sept. 17, expressed concern that students have access to artificial-intelligence tools in school. "Sanford Langager expressed concern with students having access to AI in the school," the minutes record.
Superintendent Dan Grabowska responded that students do have access and staff monitor it as closely as they can, adding that AI can be helpful for teachers "for tying lesson plans to the standards" and that teachers can usually tell when students are using it. The superintendent characterized the district's approach as monitoring and teacher awareness rather than a total ban.
The exchange occurred during the public-comment portion of the meeting and drew no formal motion or policy change; board members did not direct staff to draft new rules at this meeting. The discussion was presented to the board as a community concern, with the superintendent noting ongoing monitoring and classroom supervision as the district's current control measures.
