District administrator outlines AI guidance, data-privacy approach for classrooms
Summary
District Administrator presented an overview of generative AI use in Jefferson schools, emphasized a "human in the loop" approach, described vetted tools and data-privacy protections, and recommended training and regular policy review.
The District Administrator told the board the district has begun formalizing guidance on generative AI use and data protections, saying that "AI is already in our schools" and urging a cautious, human-supervised approach to classroom deployment.
The presentation named tools the district has vetted (NotebookLM and Gemini integrated via Google Classroom) and emphasized protecting personally identifiable information (PII) under federal privacy rules. The administrator recommended professional learning, an ongoing data-team that meets biweekly to vet tools, and transparency requirements (for example, that AI-assisted student work be cited). He also flagged accuracy problems, telling the board that "60 to 80% of AI right now processing is hallucinations, so it's wrong," and urged assessment designs that limit shortcuts and teach students how to use AI appropriately.
Board members discussed training options, student-facing curriculum, and certification pathways for staff; the administration said it will continue periodic policy review and offer training such as a planned tech camp for staff prior to the school year.
