Board adds artificial-intelligence language to student academic-honesty policy
Summary
Administrators proposed, and the board discussed, a new AI section in the student academic-honesty code that treats unauthorized AI use as plagiarism while allowing teacher‑directed, documented uses; teachers will need training and tools to detect misuse.
Administrators presented an AI-focused addition to the district's academic-honesty policy that would make unauthorized use of generative artificial intelligence a violation and allow teachers to authorize specified uses with documentation and citation requirements. "I think it's really good that we've, we've articulated it that, like, you using AI without your teachers expressed permission is plagiarism," a board member said, arguing the change will set clear expectations for students.
Board members and staff discussed implementation and enforcement challenges, including how teachers would detect AI‑generated text and whether the district needs additional software or training (Turnitin and other detection tools were mentioned). Staff suggested teacher training and simple in‑class techniques (prompts/Trojan methods) that help identify likely AI usage and preserve academic integrity; no final vote was recorded but the AI language is slated to be part of the policy packet for first reading.
