Board discusses AI lessons from conference and plans policy work
Summary
Trustees and staff who attended a conference reported on AI use in instruction — tools for lesson‑unpacking, grading assistance, and tutoring prototypes — and the superintendent said a model board AI policy will be brought forward once the district completes levy work.
Trustees and staff reported takeaways from a recent conference that included sessions on generational trends and the classroom uses of artificial intelligence.
Speaker 8 and Speaker 9 described demonstrations in which AI tools quickly unpacked standards into proficiency scales and experimented with automated grading and virtual tutoring support. "In 5 minutes, the whole standard was unpacked, proficiency scale, proficiency rubric in kid friendly language," Speaker 8 said, emphasizing the potential to free staff time to focus on student supports.
Trustees asked whether the district had board policy on AI; the presenter said Washington state model language exists among early adopters and that the district will bring a proposed board policy after the levy and bond work are completed. The superintendent noted three policy 'buckets' — board policy, teacher expectations, and student use — and that staff will need to define what assignments permit AI use versus where it is prohibited.
