Public urges limits on superintendent authority in AI policy first reading
Summary
At the first reading of policy 2367 on acceptable use of generative AI, a public commenter asked the board to remove language allowing the superintendent to revise or suspend parts of the policy and asked whether an AI coordinator would be paid.
During the public-comment portion limited to agenda items, an attendee raised concerns about the school district's first reading of policy 2367, which covers acceptable use of generative artificial intelligence. The commenter urged the board to remove language that would let the superintendent revise or suspend policy provisions without full board oversight and questioned whether any AI coordinator role created under the policy would be a paid position.
"Will the AI coordinator or coordinators be paid for this work?" the commenter asked, noting the district's long-running fiscal distress and urging careful use of limited resources. The commenter also recommended that policy decisions remain with the elected board rather than be delegated to the superintendent.
The superintendent responded that the policy as drafted does not create a paid AI coordinator position and compared the proposed administrative designations to other appointed roles like an affirmative action officer. He said the policy will be presented to the committee of the whole at next month's meeting for a fuller presentation and review.
