Board hears balanced view of AI use in classrooms, with equity concerns
Summary
Munetrix told the board that AI is already present in education tools and can help customize materials and lesson planning, but warned of equity, academic-integrity and foundational-skill risks and urged teacher training and policy guidance.
Presenters described current, commonplace uses of AI (spellcheck, predictive text, data analysis) and outlined potential benefits such as customized learning materials and assistance with lesson planning and differentiation. The presentation advised that AI be used to support instruction rather than replace critical thinking skills.
Concerns raised included inequitable access to AI tools, the potential for academic dishonesty, and risks of overreliance that could weaken foundational skills. Presenters recommended teacher professional development and policy work to govern classroom AI use and to protect learning equity.
