Trustees report takeaways from CSBA conference: AI, ethics and networking
Summary
Multiple trustees summarized sessions they attended at the CSBA Annual Education Conference, highlighting concerns about AI, ethics training, STRS information and vendor exhibits; trustees praised staff organizing the trip.
At the end of the meeting trustees reported on the CSBA Annual Education Conference they attended. Mr. Denis DeFigueiredo said he was drawn to workshops on artificial intelligence and observed that some sessions expressed anxiety about AI rather than substantive solutions. "There was a lack of substance in content in those conversations," he said, and he reflected on generational shifts in education tools. Trustee Ken Chase highlighted vendor exhibits, discussions about the Teachers' Retirement System (STRS), and keynote sessions on employee satisfaction and organizational performance.
Multiple trustees expressed appreciation for Superintendent Dr. Catherine Kawaguchi and district staff who coordinated the trip and conference logistics. The board noted ethics training taken by several trustees and the value of cross-district networking and vendor information relevant to district programs.
