Quillayute Valley trustees hear AI summit takeaways; administration to draft policy and steering committee
Summary
Superintendent Diana and staff who attended an AI summit recommended adopting policies, forming a steering committee, starting staff training, and piloting classroom uses. Presenters emphasized cybersecurity, human oversight, and phased community engagement.
During the leadership report, Superintendent Diana introduced a multi‑day conference on artificial intelligence and said the key takeaway was to adopt policies and begin phased implementation rather than delay. She summarized the conference message: "Step 1 is adopt your policies and procedures," and urged a human‑centered approach to classroom use.
Presenters who attended the summit described a three‑bucket framework (sandbox/public tools, education‑specific platforms with logins, and secured/vault models for sensitive data) and highlighted risks to student and staff confidential information without appropriate cybersecurity and procedures. Allison Ogle (speaker 10), who identified herself as the MTSS coordinator for the elementary school, and other presenters urged a steering committee with cross‑representation (IT, certificated staff, paraeducators, administrators) and recommended staged training, classroom pilots, and parent engagement before districtwide rollout.
Board members asked about device capacity and time frames for functional deployment; presenters cautioned that procurement should be deliberate because the field is evolving and that model policies vetted by WASDA are available for districts. Superintendent Diana said she would begin gathering policies and assembling a steering committee to draft a rollout plan for the board to review.
